Sure there is. They could remove the browser and have a device that is strictly an e-reader and they wouldn't have to comply because the law wouldn't be applicable. But they want a browser, they just don't want the responsibility to make it accessible to disabled people that comes with having a browser starting October 8th 2013.
And there is also the fact that while the petition is talking about how in the 7 years since "Sony launched the first e-reader available in the U.S. utilizing electronic ink" the public understands the difference between e-readers and general-purpose tablets, 3 years ago the Nook Color was introduced as an e-reader. Doesn't that clash with the definition that e-readers don't have LCD screens?
How about Kobo?

Some time after I started posting on this forum and I was looking at e-readers and e-reader specs, because of various discussions about eink vs. LCD. I've seen LCD readers, and many if not all were sold by Amazon as well. I find it disingenuous that suddenly they want to pretend that only eink devices have been marketed as e-readers since 2006.
