Another point is that e-readers and e-books are two different things. As a newly minted writer, I am more interested in the future of e-books (is it ebook or e-book?) than e-readers. Anything that gains in popularity as an e-reader is good news for me as a producer in the e-book format.
Overall, though, CNet is probably right. My wife says soon we will all have a single device, our cell phone, that will pretty much do everything for us. Certainly the cell phone already CAN do pretty much everything it is just a question of ditching the other technology forms.
