Just look what happened to Smartphones and PDAs - who needs a PDA these days?! Same is true for PMPs (playing music, video and now enhanced with games, apps, WiFi, touchscreens and internet capability) - the NetTablet/MID/PMP (whatever it'll be named in the end) WILL be the future.
And if eReaders (eInk or not) don't get to grips with all that (including DRM and format wars), they'll be sooner or later history.
(just my 2 cents)

Interesting, geraldo, but please realize not everyone thinks as you do.
Many people (me included) prefer a device that just reads books.
We don't need to play mp3, call, or browse the net.
Don't underestimate the market.
