I do not believe it was misdirection, I think the man wants to sell a portable computer, and he probably thinks that an iPad without a QWERTY keyboard is DOA. I think that is where he is coming from.

My father owns an iPad and in landscape orientation the iPad's QWERTY keyboard works; which is to say it is usable if not comfortable. I own an old Windows CE 7" QWERTY keyboard device and the keyboard is neither comfortable nor usable.

I tend to agree with the assessment that almost any screen size can be used to read eBooks, if one's eyesight is decent.
