I think the HD 6 will go as cell phones are big enough that the 6 is just not viable. Amazon will keep the HD 7 with a new model and I do think a 6.8 - 8" Reader. But, the problem is, it won't be any more user friendly then the current Voyage,

Rumors about Sony re-entering the ereader market will begin in Japan but nothing will appear for at least two years. (It's time for that on their ereader cycle.)

Sony won't be reentering the Reader market. They are done.

There will be a new Kobo that basically does what all the other Kobos do, only with more start-up problems.

The H2O is rather good. No startup problems at all. I think Kobo might go for a larger Reader and drop all the others below the Aura. So it'll be the Aura, H2O and a new one. The rest will be dropped from the line.

I don't know WTF B&N is going to do. If there ever was a company that squandered and didn't understand its ereader business, it's that company. I mean, it partners and brings out a new color tablet with a display that's inferior to its prior tablets. Who does that???!

B&N won't do anything. They've already botched things hugely with the eInk Readers. Poor interface, partitioned memory to give the user almost no memory for side loading and B&N took away the card slot with the nook Glowlight. It's just a mess. Plus, I'm not a fan of the shape. It's just odd to hold without a case.

Someone will once again tease us with the prototype of a color e-ink reader.

It'll be another product that won't actually come to market.
