It is conceivable that a tablet with a next generation color bistable screen like mirasol could have an "ereader" switch so that it consumes less power. in regular power mode, the tablet can run windows, etc. the ereader application and switch are very very very low marginal cost for a tablet that already runs more sophisticated applications. thus the kindle would just be an application.
i can also see an ereader dedicated devices even when tablets get color e-ink screens if they are substantially specialize and are cheaper.
