I think convergence will change the ereader and it will be quite different in 10 years. It will do more - web, email, calendar, and tell your fortune.

I think of it like Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) like the ole Palm Pilot. Once a common business tool, but now their functions are taken over by smart phones and people don't want to carry both.

I think ereaders and tablets will converge into a single type of device. Some may have e-ink or future innovations, but they will all do the same basic functions.
