Education, at least for me, is something that implies much more than simple knowledge on certain areas of life.
Education for me is being polite, respectful, using your skills for the benefit of your society.
So no, having an ereader or read a lot, does not mean you are more or less educated than me. The same goes for those with formal education of PhDs
As a matter of fact, I know couple of "educated" people on my country, old women, that they don't know how to read and they are very educated. Know a lot about my culture, history and even people's behavior.
