I think there might be substance to the article just because of advances in technology. Look at the Kindle 3 with 3G. Many people get it just so they can read check their e-mail. Being it is an ereader, as well as capable of connecting to the internet to check email, read news I wouldn't consider it a dedicated ereader. Just because of new technologies allow you to have so much more. An example would be a cellphone that can just make calls. Don't see many of those around anymore.
