Frankly it's a small minority of consumers who care so much about reading that they will spend hundreds of dollars on a dedicated device. Most active readers still only spend a small part of their spare time reading.

The market is being limited by the current prices, but to come to the conclusion that this will lead to the only device people will want being an even more expensive multifunction device seems to be rather short sighted.
If you look at the surveys carried out, certain price levels attract a lot more people and pushing down the price of basic readers will help convert more paper book readers a lot easier than higher priced multifunction devices.

At this point for those so worried about added features somehow harming their eBook reader device experience... well maybe you should go buy an extra reader of your preference today so you won't have to worry about the lack of them on the market in a few years?[/QUOTE]
Try reading what people are saying, they object to feature bloat when its to the detriment of core functionality not to adding features.
