I don't see anything unfortunate about it. It expands the market for e-books and as e-book sales go up and competition increases we'll see prices come down, more pressure on getting to a standard format, dropping DRM etc.
Dedicated e-ink devices will be niche--but they'll remain their for people who want them to purchase them, and that's all that matters.
