I always figured that what held it back more than anything else was that people wanted it to be something it isn't. By that I mean a fast enough display for video. I think that is not what it is or should be, I do want decent resolution and color reproduction though, at least for some potential uses. For just reading text the original Kindle models were already great IMO.
