I dunno; eReader is in a very exposed position right now.
They've been taking some flack lately over their pricing on Fictionwise and on the eReader stores and its not all their doing. They just don't have Amazon's clout with the publishers and the scattershot pricing schemes they're stuck with don't look so hot next to Amazon's Kindle-edition pricing.
Add in that most second-tier dedicated Reader devices are converging on Mobipocket and the big publishing houses are starting to push for an ePub ecosystem and the eReader ecosystem is looking darn vulnerable. If Apple actually releases the longed-after large-format iPod and gets into ebooks, eReader could be the first casualty.
