They'll still be there. Cellphone can do photo, vidéo, music. But we still have dedicated PMP and camera. Because they do their one job better.
Tomorrow's dedicated readers won't be the same as today's, buy you'll still find device to do that one job, at cheaper than the "do-it-all" stuff.
I can't see myself using a 5" cellphone, and that's a bare minimum to read with some comfort.
Though maybe, instead of cellphone + cybook, it will be cell phone and 6" video + music + book reader.
PMP is where i think "reeding" will blend in, mainly because video and reading have in common needing a larger screen.
Then, you will find people to think : I just want to read, i don't want to spend $$ on functions I don't care about.
Just like there are some people to think "i want to play music, i don't care about video anyway"

Gad, seems like they're just trying to say that there aren't enough of us avid readers to to wanna buy something that just reads books

That the case now, prices means only people reeding lot will consider an e-reader. But if e-readers gets really cheaper, that might change.
