Personally, I'd amend Cory's statement to say that there's no future for dedicated black-and-white e-ink hardware readers. I agree with his sentiment that they will not be good enough in the book market alone to be successful.
I believe in a strong potential for readers, but only if they are in color, whatever display technology is used. Color will bring online magazines into the e-book mix, and that, I think, will make a huge splash.
Of course, if more people are happy with laptop and tablet display technology down the line, the need for a dedicated reader lessens. This would mean creative packaging and pricing as an attractive accessory device, to bring them to the consumer's "gotta have it" point.
