At the same time, others will simply be buying this device for games, comics, internet, video or so they can use it to read color cookbooks. Those people will suddenly have an e-reader device and may begin to purchase e-books.

What he said. He just described me, a customer in 2010 with a credit card.
I was looking for an eReader in 2010 - but wait! I don't believe Black and White text media is the only thing I am going to want to read in 2011! So instead of a $200 eReader why not take that $200 and use it as part of the payment on a device which does more for 2010 and 2011?
I own a PSP 1000, which in 2009 Sony put a Comics Reader on. I have no need for Comics but the direction that media in general is heading towards is pretty clear. Your media will come to you over the air, it will have color and graphics, some of it will be periodical, and oh - some of it will be text.
Then Apple comes out with the iPad. I have no Apple products right now (except for QuickTime) but the iPad works for me.
