Correct: in support of the already mentioned point that the technology is not progressing. Personally, I see lots of room for improvement, much as I like my Kindle. How much or how fast the technology should progress is beside the point, though. Because it is not progressing and newer models have no particular appeal for those who resisted or abandoned past models, there's a vicious cycle at work against ongoing interest and development.

Will that tree grow to heaven? Almost certainly not. Dedicated reading devices aren't vanishing from the face of the earth any time soon. Again, the headline was clickbait, but little said in the article was at all controversial. It was a straightforward survey of the state of the ereader market at present, and for the last few years.
