I find ereader prices/sales to be a very insufficient metric for gauging ebook reading popularity (or un-) right now. Ebook downloads--the only numbers we have no reliable access to--is the only thing I would place much stock in. It would surprise me very much if every smartphone- and or tablet-toting, casual reader out there didn't have at least one reading app installed on their device(s).

I think the dedicated eink reader market is a very niche (but solid) market that has reached its saturation point. But I just don't think it's a very good indicator of how many ebooks are being bought, borrowed and read any more.
