I don't think I'd like to see them go completely bezel-less either. Given e-readers tend to be wider and heavier than phones, the bezels serve as palm rest when holding.
That iPhone X notch is a case of function over form. For now, all those cameras that do facial recognition require the landscape.

I'm not thinking bezel-less. You're right. The bezels give us a place to hold. But do they all have to be boring?
