I disagree. It's possible that ebook readers will become a (lucrative) niche product. But you can still get a variety of devices that "just" plays radio stations, or "just" displays video signals, or "just" takes pictures, or "just" plays video games, and so forth. Not every device ought to be integrated into a multifunction device, and not every such integration eliminates single-purpose devices.
