I don't think one-trick-pony ereaders will survive very long. People want excellent displays and light, but 10 years worth of tech evolution will likely deliver that in a device that can also run a range of apps and provide far more utility than a pure ereader.

Ah but those same multipurpose devices have one flaw. If the wrong thing malfunctions everything else goes. For a time there were VHS players built into TV sets. Great idea some thought, but what if the VHS player malfunctions and need to be sent off for repair? What if the TV goes bad? Then you have nothing left. It isn't wise to put all your eggs in one basket.
