The thing is, it's easier to get a multipurpose device that does what you want then to ignore the rest.
For example: dedicated readers are great for novels, but aren't so hot for other types of books. General purpose devices are great for other stuff since they are much more flexible and third parties can build upon it.. So I think we're kinda stuck with the general purpose devices, with dedicated devices in a few niche markets.
(Personally I prefer a dedicated device, so my PDF reader is an Android tablet which has virtually every app removed. So much has been removed that it is closer to a dedicated ereader than devices like the Kindle Fire or Kobo Vox. Alas, that sort of solution isn't everyone's cup of tea.)
