I do believe that e-book readers are largely a transition product which will eventually be made more or less obsolete by advances in netbook/smartbook etc. technologies. Multiple devices that share a lot of common fundamental functionality just do not make sense to me. When done reading or wanting a break from it, I want to be able to all the tasks a netbook type device can also do. Netbooks have to become smaller, thinner, lighter and much more energy efficient, but eventually we will get there. In the meantime, if an e-reader meets your needs, it is at least nice to have a few choices to consider.
