The market always shakes down when you're talking about new technology, especially as profit margins sink. Sony is really the only big company to give up on eInk readers, and (at the same time) they got out of several other consumer electronic lines (like laptops and desktops). And you could say the same thing about smartphones. No more Windows Phone, no more Blackberries, no more Symbian -- basically it's down to Android and iOS. Still a
lot of people using eInk readers.
