The company does have some, apparently smaller, revenue streams beyond the familiar monochrome displays:

So we can't say for sure whether the number of eInk eReader shipped is actually in decline.
My impression is that there is still an increase, although a much smaller one than in previous years. I could certainly be wrong on that although the link you supplied seems to me to imply additional markets even if in a different area?

Time will tell I guess and has been pointed out by j.p.s. it can happen. I just don't think it has happened yet.
