I agree, eReader is in trouble. I had heard that there would be eInk readers with eReader installed, and for their sake that better happen soon. Although, for my business (tried eInk, now back to LCD), I am more concerned that they make the deals they need to make with the publishers so they can actually compete on price.
Having said that, I just finished purchasing another three books from eReader. Being the cheap SOB that I am, I hate paying more than $6 for a book (I have, but only with rewards money). The books I buy have very little, if any price difference through Amazon, and until the Kindle app matures some (Boy, is it basic!), I will gladly pay a few cents extra to continue using the eReader and Stanza apps. Then again, I am becoming rather addicted to some of the Smashwords content, most of which is not even available on Amazon or eReader. We'll have to see how it develops.
