Let's not forget the basic "romance" (experience) factor... I find there is just something much more "tactile" to experience when reading on eInk versus a tablet or computer screen.
It is a similar reason why I recently bought a manual typewriter! It is a completely different experience (and phew, am I glad we have computers and are spoiled with our lovely, easy-to-use keyboards!)... lol

I am pretty sure that Sony's bow-out of the North American market may have already been factored into that "less" business for eInk this past year. I doubt Sony made many new devices knowing that they were ending their place in the market.
