For Windows, it seems that the Surface has convinced everyone that you should have some sort of physical keyboard. At least, that's how it looks to me here in the US.

Back more or less on topic, even if multi-purpose tablets with color e-ink style screens replaced dedicated readers, I'd still want to use one that way anyhow. Removing distractions of email, non-reading apps, games, etc. as much as possible.
ETA: Some company at CES (I forget who) had a large TV that rolled up like a movie projection screen. Wouldn't it be cool to have an ereader that rolled up into a little tube? Tuck it in your pocket like a pen.

I know LG had an 85" 8k TV at CES.
Yes, it would be cool to have roll up devices.
