I have to disagree. It's the same reason I do not commute to work in a GMC Hummer or drive a full utility truck 100% of the time. I have no need for it, and a small fuel efficient car meets my needs better. It does not have the same horse power or the same cargo space as a larger vehicle but it gets far better fuel mileage, like a dedicated e-reader is a better reading device.
It's also the reason I have a simple calculator on my desk. It works well for what it does. And they still sell calculators.
That being said, I do think that e-readers will be less exciting to cover as new products and that the buzz will die down... but the device is here to stay.
