The article doesn't seem to take into account how many of us have both and will continue to upgrade both.
My first (basic) eReader is a couple of years old now; earlier this year I bought a (very inexpensive) 7" tablet to play with, read pdf's, and 'learn' android. This month, when I realized my credit card had enough in rebates to offset half the price, I bought a Nook Glowlight, gaining both wifi and the light (which I really like, btw). The old Libre is great to toss in the picnic basket for the beach or mountains - if it gets lost or broken, well, it has more than paid for itself; the Nook is perfect for nighttime or low-light situations; the tablet is a great traveling companion - good for short reads, checking email, jotting notes... None of them serve all those purposes for me.
