While I agree that today's 2017 vintage hardware keeps ereaders and tablets largely distinct beasts, I still feel that they will merge in the rather distant future (e.g. 2028+) with the Triumvirate (ereader-tablet-phone) becoming a pair of just two dominate devices, the document handling device (ereader + tablet) and the more portable communication device (phone + email + messaging + social media junk).

I still think it's the tablet that will disappear, not the eReader. Bigger screened smartphones have been cutting deeply into the tablet market for a couple (maybe three) years now.
