Maybe not, but there are mobile phones that solely exist to make just phone calls. In fact, contrary to what gadget communities would have us think, smartphones make up a small percentage of overall cellphone use.
So yes, there is still a high demand for single use devices. I use my eink Nook for NOTHING but reading books. I've used the browser maybe twice, and none of the other features and ad-ons at all.
There is a market for people who only want ereaders to read books on, and there's nothing wrong with BN aggressively pursuing them. YMMV of course, but it's great that there are so many reader devices to suit all of us.
