I don't see why e-readers would be displaced by table devices. I wouldn't waste my money in a 6' screen tablet, what the heck would I do with that crap tiny screen? It would be good only for that, reading e-books, and to read e-books I prefer an e-ink device.
Tablets are good only for people who move enough to get a good use of it, like reading documents and magazines and doing web tasks on the move, like people who travel a lot for business purposes... At home or workplace, I don't see what a tablet would serve for. Nothing is better at home than a good desktop PC, serving as central memory device and workspace, you can connect it to modern TVs and other devices, it even works as Hi-Fi. And for workplace or educational purposes, like university, library, etc, a laptop is much more useful. If you wanna read mails in the bus going from your home to the work, you can use your phone, smartphones are taking over all phone industry.
If in the future laptops are displaced by tablets, something that I see much more plausible, and I wouldn't care about having a 11' tablet if they achieve the same performance and usefulness as a real laptop, then I'd gladly leave my tiny netbook for a tablet, but an e-reader? oh, noes.
