Dealing with that stuff does not make the reading experience relaxing in any way.
Note the word "most".

What's likely to happen is that it will still exist, but as a slightly more expensive (than it is now) niche. Players like Amazon will simply update their technology to Reflective LCDs and slap a "Kindle 4" label on it, and that may last a while. But the smaller players will either stop getting enough business to support them, or gradually only be able to support fewer models, at a higher price point.

I mean unless that ONE single company who makes e-ink screens pulls their head out of their ass and halves the cost of the thing.
