Or... not. There are still plenty of people out there who don't see the need for two devices that do the same thing, and so will bypass dedicated readers in favor of all-in-one devices.
Of course, display tech will likely improve with e-ink (color) and LCD (power), making both of them more versatile, and allowing people to choose one or the other for the same tasks, as they prefer... which is as it should be. And we may still see a new display tech come along and blow both of them out of the water, so what difference does it make in the long run?
I will say that I've never felt belittled for my choice of device (PDA). People 'round these parts can find plenty of other things to pick on me about, that they can afford to ignore that one...
