I don't think anyone should be very surprised by those numbers and the shift away from dedicated ereading devices. I like my two e-ink devices, but it is easy to understand people moving toward a single device that handles multiple tasks. The 5" plus smartphones have just gotten traction over the past year, and that coincides with the demise of ereaders. I do not take my e-ink devices outside of the house, I read on my phone when I'm out and about. It is a small step to only read on a phone, and phone screen sizes have not only gotten larger, they have gotten better, higher resolution, easier on the eyes. I don't see myself completely dropping e-ink, but I imagine the move in that direction is well on its way for many readers.
