Of course that is marketing speak. Or it could be because they aren't native English speakers. But, you can't have a generation that comes before its parents. I don't think my kids could have been born before I was. I know I'm just nit picking here.

I consider all the current eInk devices to be Gen 1 of eInk. They are probably Gen 2 of digital readers in general with LCD devices being Gen 1.
