CNET is faithfully toeing the Apple line. Apple is trying hard to convince people that DVD and Bluray are dead. After all, why should people be able to buy content anywhere else than via iTunes with Apple making a healthy profit? I'm sure that people who don't have exceedingly fast broadband connections have a different opinion on delivery of HD content, though.
As to ebook readers I am not wed to a specific technology. As long as I get a comparable reading experience I don't mind if the device can also do satellite navigation and predict the lottery numbers. However, I'm not too concerned about the immediate demise of ebook readers. With the Americas and Europe we are looking at a market of how many people? 1.5 billion? Plenty of potential costumers there to build ebook readers even if it is only a niche product.
