E-reader sales have been decreasing for the past 2 years, with the tablets also serving as replacements for such devices. The tablets offer the same functionality as the e-readers and much more. The Amazon Kindle Fire series and the iPad Mini have been major killers of the concept of e-reader. The only saviour of the segment is the lower power technology, such as E-paper, that gives a huge battery life to the devices it’s implemented on.
