Interestingly, when I went to the U.S. last week (after having been gone for one year), I went to Best Buy and saw quite a few tablets prominently displayed. This disply (along with ebook Readers) was NOT apparent one year ago, and I was startled by their presence.
I personally don't think eInk reading devices will disappear - not at all, in my opinion. I do, however, see tablets taking over some of the chores of ebook Readers.
I now have both: a tablet nook, an eInk nook STR, and my two Kindles (2 and 3).
What I like about the color nook is the ability to read at night, an experience which (for me) is somewhat different than using my Kindle with the light.
Personally, I would like to see a color "tablet" that is the same size as the nook STR - the nook technology in a smaller size. Perhaps wishful thinking, I know, and probably not even practical or viable, but it would be wonderful for me to have a Reader with that technology and with a lighter weight. I would want to use it mainly for reading and nothing else.
