Yeah, "electromagnetic" and "electronic" is more or less the same word, is it not? Well, not exactly. If you imply that all electronic equipment has EM fields, you're right, but surely you must know that wireless communication (like router, mouse, keyboard, phone etc...) is more harmful in that respect than non wireless. So yes, an e-reader will still have those, just as a PC or a TV etc..., but if it can go online, it's a significant jump, not the same thing at all.

Wave is the right word. Fields cannot send information. The change in that, wave, can. I think he isn't make fun of your choice of word, but I think he find it funny that you worry about such thing.
While the harmfulness of these waves could be controlversial, you can just turn it off. No, if you turn it off, it won't send out signal.
I hope that helps clearify things.
