I don't equate good writing with owning a device. There are many authors who cannot afford a computer. I personally know two authors who are dependent on library computers and friends to email or browse the web.
Ebooks were around for quite a few years before dedicated readers, and many people use computers if they have them.
Ostracising or vilifying people because of what they don't own seems pretty unenlightened. Discrimination some might dare to think.
Should we brand them as riffraff and consign them to the workhouse till they can meet our economic standards.
Let them write books I say and let them advertise them wherever they want to or can afford to.
How else can they hope to buy that ebook reader.
