Same as tablets, you just get a step forward in things like the resolution, quality of the light, thinner & lighter devices and smaller improvements like that rather than anything really innovative?
Much of the innovation in tablets is software rather than hardware. If an eInk device came out with a really good way of organizing and searching for books but everything else was the same, then I would buy it in a heart beat.
