There will always be a dirt cheap, dedicated, eInk reader available (even if it's some rinky-dink drugstore model). Probably right up until the time drugstores begin selling dirt-cheap, rinky-dink tablets. I'm not all that stressed over market trends—even though eInk would be my personal preference. I simply don't have a need for "mobile computing."

(not that I think more tablets will be the cause of less readers, by any stretch of the imagination)
