Will E-Readers be gone by 2020?

Just saw an article on Yahoo! (though it's sourced from something called ManStreet) that gives a list of current tech products that they feel will be gone and dusted by the end of the decade. One of the five items listed is -- yes, you guessed it -- the dedicated e-reader.

Quote:
“It could be that by 2020 you can still buy a super cheap e-reader for $20, but by and large, the volume of sales will be so close to zero as to be indistinguishable, like CD players are now,” he says.
I'm guessing a fair few of my fellow MobileReaders will take umbrage with that...
