If you're a casual reader, who does an hour or so reading at a time, then battery life isn't so important, and you'd charge once a day anyway. It's portable and can be used in cramped conditions, unlike the bigger e-reading devices. Add that to the Best Seller store on Stanza, no Kindle in Europe yet and you've got a very good argument not to buy a dedicated E-Reader.

That's a good point. If ebooks are doing well on a device poorly suited to reading, imagine how they'd do on a multifunction device well suited to reading like I described?
That type of thing is what could really get ebooks to take off IMO.
