Seriously?
Wow, that's crazy. I'd agree with you on not wanting to buy from them. That's like a painter who never sets foot in an art gallery.
But, having said that, I think an ebook author who lists "no device" for their ebook reading isn't the same as a pbook author who doesn't read, period, but more like an author who doesn't nail themselves down to only buying their pbooks from Amazon, or to only reading hardcovers or only paperbacks. Not listing a specific ebook reading device doesn't mean they don't do any ebook reading (although, granted, it's a good indication that that's the case, but it's not guaranteed- as some have mentioned, they just can't afford a reader of their own; but they might borrow them or whatever).
