people are skeptical but will come around to the idea of reading books on a pbook alternative - i.e. its hard to convince people to replace the idea of paper with e-paper BUT its much more feasible than saying, dont buy paper books, instead, read them on your phone/netbook ..
A device you rarely have to worry about charging, with a similar form factor to a book and readability that is similar will trump the phones/netbooks - even if there was a netbook available today that could toggle into e-ink it wouldnt oust my cybook for comfort when reading...
the one scenario i can think of where an e-ink reader might be superceded is a super lightweight, touchscreen tablet computer capable of switching its primary processor off completely ... which has a pixel Qi style screen a few generations down the track..
im sure i'll still have an eInk reader if not two (small for books, large for newspaper and graphic novels)
