Yeah, I get that ATM, as dedicated ereaders are still pretty prominent, so as you say, for most people, it's not worth the hassle.
But phones and tablets are getting better and more suited for ereading and most people own these sorts of things, so even for casual reading, in the near-ish future, it might be considered more of an option.
I like my Kobo ereader, as it's very light and has a fantastic battery life.
But my Galaxy S 8.4 tablet is great for ereading too (and of course a lot of other stuff).
I could see more and more people just not bothering with pbooks for the convenience of just reading on a device they already have anyway.
