I don't think that the market for eBook readers will dry up. There continues to exist a market for simple calculators that sell for only a dollar at Walmart.
What I fear is that the companies will choose not to meet the demand, but instead make only fancier models, keeping the price high.
What keeps me optimistic about simple eBook readers is that they, like simple calculators and simple cell phones, will have users who are not interested in the other functions. I bought my cell phone for only $10 with no contract about a year ago. This is not so for computers, for example, whose users continue to demand more from them.
