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.

My mother prefers paper.
Though e-readers are not for most people. I can pretty much guarantee that there are 3 ereaders on my block, used to be 4 but one died. Now I can also say that there is at least one cell phone per household. But none of my neighbors read.
Now their grown children all have smart phones.
Ereaders are generally used by voracious readers not your 1 to 2 book a year reader.
