Apparently you need a refresher course on what "luddite" means in the modern usage. Luddites are not opposed to all technology (if they were, they would be in the woods digging up roots with their bare hands and no clothes). Luddites are against new technology (and usually automated or computerized technology). If you ban ereaders and not paper books, you are indeed a luddite.
