Most of the article is sensationalist, and therefore dismissible.
The only point worth discussing is the author's contention that computer-inspired multitasking is, in fact, a drain on intelligence, suggesting people cannot "focus" on important items for long in the computer environment.
As usual, he is basing an argument on a new behavior that many people haven't yet mastered, so he is assuming the current state of some people represent the future state of all people.
Further, this isn't an argument against ebooks per se, but against computer use in general (and still based on an erroneous assumption).
So, if we remove the inaccurate opinions about focus and multitasking, there is really nothing of substance in the article at all.
