Actually the irony is that after e-reading spent a decade on converged devices (i.e. PDAs, laptops, desktops), it finally migrated to dedicated devices. Now that it is has gotten off of a dedicated device, they are predicting its downfall...

I imagine eventually it will move back to a converged device, but not until the screen technology has advanced to the point where it meets the needs that eInk serves as well as the needs that current backlit LCDs meet as well.
