At least the inexpensive, single-purpose E ink models. If
you do one thing very well (or at least better than
everyone else), and do it for an amount of money that
makes keeping around a single-purpose device palatable
you can survive in the marketplace. E Ink eBook readers at
$400 are doomed, but at $99 or even maybe $199 they
could make a go of it marketing to the vast majority of
people who simply don't want an iPad-like device. These
companies that are trying to shoehorn an Apps
environment in to their eReaders and stay at $300-400
price point are crazy.
