Sad to say, but e-readers are certainly doomed. Tablets are more diverse. You can watch movies, go on the internet, use touch screen technology, and a host of other things. The most damning fact for the e-readers is that through time, the tablets will become cheaper. When someone like Apple comes out with the next generation tablet, the price of the original will come down. Imagine an ipad for $200 to $250. Then a $125 to $150 the year after that. The e-reader will retreat in price until it is something like $29.99. They'll be sold in discount stores before long. The market is very fast, hopefully the good companies will adapt in time
