I guess I view this differently. I do not find it problematic at all that people come to MR and post about their book yet do not list or own an ereader. I'm interested to discover what ebooks are available for me to read -- after all, isn't that what I have the ereader for? For me to get ebooks and to read them?
And I don't see any problem with their not participating beyond blurbing about their book. It is easy enough to skip the self-promo thread. I've noted that some very long-time MR members have only posted a few times yet there seems to be no complaints about them.
I find it more troublesome that people do not use their real names in message signatures. I've always believed that if you think you need to say it then you should say it with pride and put your name to it. Anonymous postings are more bothersome to me than an author who self-promotes his/her book but does nothing else here at MR or who doesn't own an ereader device.
