While there may currently be some market saturation for e-ink in the US, in continental Europe it is still in an initial phase and picking up steam. One year ago e-ink readers were a rare sight in the shops, now you can get them in the department and electronics stores.
For those customers who have already bought an e-ink reader there are almost no incentives to buy a new version, though. Why should I swap my PRS-650 for a T1? There is a distinctive lack of innovation, quite unlike the tablet and smartphone market. BTW, I am surprised that smartphones aren't mentioned as competitors for e-ink readers. Almost all the young people around here do own a smartphone and something like the Samsung Note is probably much attractive than a cheap tablet.
