So I guess dedicated ereaders have been dead for over 10 years...
They're probably right, too. E-readers never actually took off in the general public as far as I can tell. Very few people seem to read for pleasure in general, and even fewer do so on e-ink. Most of my friends had no idea what e-ink was - they thought it was basically the same technology as LCD - until I showed them. They still don't see the point, as they hardly read.

Mostly, people seem to prefer audio books.
