they at least will want to make dedicated e-readers to cater to, um, dedicated readers.
Pretty reasonable. Dedicated readers buy far more than the 12 book average than the 'average' reader. Sortof like frequent-flyers.

The non-reflection is still the primary selling point for an ereader vs. a tablet. SO much less eye fatigue as well as permitting reading in daylight. Weight is also going to be a factor for at least older readers. I just bought the new Nook Glowlight a couple of weeks ago and it is SO LIGHT it is hard to believe. Switching is going to be difficult for those who are in a walled garden and don't know how to remove DRM from their previous purchases.
