It won't be.
One thing to keep in mind is that the industry driving eBooks/eReaders, that is the publishing industry, exists in it's own right outside of the ePublishing industry. This is a very different setup to the video game industry in the 80s.
Even if the market were saturated (it isn't) and it had an impact on the sale of the devices (it won't) this wouldn't have any impact on the infrastructure of the industry behind ebooks because at this point the revenue from electronic versions of books is fairly negligible in comparison to the print versions.
