I agree 100% with that. Once the technology is there, those devices will take off. Maybe dedicated readers will stick around. But it will be a small niche as who would want one if you can get something in 5-10 years that's as good or better to read on and does all kinds of other things you need as well for about the same cost as current readers?
I can see a market for selling the current, barebones e-ink readers for $100 selling to folks who just read and don't use other technology. But for the younger crowd etc. having something just as good for reading that they can also e-mail, surf the net, play games, watch videos etc. etc. would be much more functional and practical. Especially since most in that crowd probably don't read enough to justify buying a dedicate reader...but would buy a multifunction tablet and buy some e-books on it occasionally.
