The niche of eink dedicated book reading devices will be around for another good 5 years. It will take that long (or longer) for LCDs to get up to those high resolutions which have zero eye strain.

So people who 'just' want to read books on a device with clarity comparable to print will stick to e-ink readers. Of course the mainstream public demands the devices also do high def video, internet, chat, video conferencing etc. So the mainstream will have super advanced devices which do all of that + e-books. Hardcore readers like us will have dedicated niche e-ink devices for a few years yet.
