It's true that ereaders keep getting better but not at anything like the rate they were in the past. I think part of the reason for that is that they got really good and there's not a lot left to improve. Maybe some new technology will change that.
Another reason, of course, is that more people are reading on cell phones. There's a lot less interest in dedicated ereaders today.
I'm happy with the devices I have. They all have flaws and they all have remarkable advantages. The least of them is pretty good. My hope is that they'll continue to be available in the future.
I think one problem with the state of ereaders is that they're made by book sellers, not by hardware makers interested in competing with one another to offer the best device. The book sellers want to sell books and they make sure the ereader they offer is good enough.
