I do see tablets continuing, and taking over from the dedicated reader, especially as prices drop. Phones are too small, but tablets have the form and function people need. At the same time, I don't expect tablets to be the same as they are now. Not only will resolution continue to climb, but I expect the screen technology to improve to the point that most come with a reflective mode for reading.

I would disagree that phones are too small as we see the samsung note with a five inch screen. I would switch to one for a reader if it wasn't still at a 600 plus price tag here (I don't use my cell enough to spring for a $50 plus cell phone bill to get one at special prices.)
A five inch screen is a lovely size for a reader, mind you I was used to the smaller screen on my old pocketpc.
