TL;DR
ACS => must make device accessible for the disabled
Browser = ACS
Want exemption from accessibility laws for e-readers with browsers? => make sure that e-readers aren't going to have specs that are good enough for a good browsing experience and say it isn't really ACS.

All taxicabs are not accessible to the handicapped. You can in most, but not all places, call a cab with a wheelchair lift.
My analogy referred to the rule seeming to want all devices with browsers to be ACS compliant, which I still think means that they must be useable by the disabled.
I think that as long as their are sufficient devices available that are ACS compliant, all devices should not have to beany more than I think all taxicabs should be. And I doubt very much you could install a wheelchair lift in the majority of cars or cabs used today.
Rather than try to force manufacturers to comply on an entire class of specialized devices, I think the disabled would be better served by developing and upgrading devices that suit their needs and improving the ones in existence.
