You don't need a dedicated device for ebooks (and certainly not a working computer to connect it to). Many people (including casual readers) are already carrying a device that will allow them to browse, buy, store, and consume ebooks entirely on the go. And they're already practised at keeping it charged.
Many readers may not
want to read ebooks on phones/tablets, but the idea that a casual reader needs to invest in new hardware and accessories before being able to avail themselves of the convenience of ebooks is hogwash.
EDIT: and referring to calibre as "pirate software" is over-the-top, false slander. You're either terribly misinformed, or being purposefully misleading. If it's the former, then get informed. If it's the latter, then stop it.
