eInk devices have had those same capabilities for years, that's nothing new.

It does matter!
I'm talking about the device itself not ebooks.
There are several ways to read ebooks. But if people prefer tablets instead of eink devices, then eink devices wont be produced anymore at some point. If that will happen or not, again, is pure speculation and will depend of people's preference and market.
Also, the eink device we have now, it's not the same one we had before.
