Like the smartphone drove out the photocamera, it will also make the ereader obsolete.

The biggest issue with T1/T2/T3 (I have them all) is the lack of backlight for lowlight conditions.

So, get adapted to tablets. Ereaders will disappear.
They said that 10 years ago, too. So far it has not happened.

And dedicated cameras have not disappeared. They're still there for people who want one, because they do a better job than smartphones. So do dedicated ereaders. I don't think they will disappear.
