Marco is right. Sure, colour e-readers would be nice, as would ones with faster update speeds. Mirasol's Kyobo looks rather nice for this. But unless they can also keep the battery life up people aren't going to shift to them.
And then there's form factor. My Kobo e-reader sits handily in my coat pocket, and there's no way a 10" tablet is going to do that. The Kindle Touch is 17cm by 12cm, and that's pretty much perfect for reading novels. It's not perfect for reading comics on, or watching videos - for that I'd rather have at least a 10" screen.
So I suspect that convergence just isn't going to happen - we're going to be left with a range of devices - 3-4" phones, 6-7" tablet/ereaders and 10" tablets for video.
