One thing about the way the article is presented bothers me. It shows the Sony e-reader prominently, and says soon into the article "Success breeds imitators". I know it may be pedantic of me, but the Sony reader came first, and is certainly not a copy of the Kindle.
I agree with the comments made here that whenever something is the "X killer" it almost always never is. The good news though is that more and more people are not only aware of this technology but are adopting it as well. It's not about the device they use, but that they're using the devices. As long as we have vendor-agnostic formats such as ePub, let people get whatever device they like.
Here's hoping Amazon starts supporting ePub.
