I know it's going to utterly shock the MR community to tell them this, but some people who read eBooks read them solely on their computers. Since "device" reads as "Branded eReader", it's easy enough to leave it as 'none' instead of slapping in "Dell-brand laptop".
And does it really matter what the author thinks? A few years again, Rowling was running around giving the impression that SHE didn't like eBooks because paper was SO important to her, but I don't recall there suddenly being a major crisis of conscience over that.
