Such a device wouldn't be good for avid readers, but would be fine for people that just read a couple books a year and what have you.
These type of multifunction devices won't expand the market for eReader devices, but can expand the ebook market some by selling books to casual readers who don't read enough to even consider buying a dedicated reader.
