Look how much the situation has improved with ereading devices in a relative short amount of time (Nokia late 05, Ebks I am not sure but I think late 04, early 05, Iliad, Sony mid-late 06, even UMPC's and Pepper Pad plus lots of PDA's, tablets going down considerably in prices, especially the older used models).
I have no doubt that this will continue and each of us will have the possibility to find the right e-reader(s) that suits his/her needs. For various reasons (I have posted a while ago the tradeoffs that I see intrinsic or at least in terms of price/practicalities), I have doubts that there will be one ereader acceptable to everyone, but that is ok.
Now if there will be some external pressure on publishers to improve the commercial e-book experience...There the progress is far slower, but still I am guardedly optimistic especially if Amazon will get solidly in the game.
