I suspect there will always be a market for small (think mass market paperback sized) dedicated ereaders, especially if the price is low.

So very true
I have an iPad2 for a specific purpose (PDF's and comics, plus a email.browser etc) AND ereaders for the specific purpose of replacing dead tree fiction.
Multi-function devices can never fully replace a single purpose dedicated device.
