ANY devices that can display ebooks is an ereader! The Ereader definition immediately expanded once apps were designed to go on tablets, phones and pc's.
The condescension developed because a good chunk of the e-ink readers immediately started condescendingly proclaiming the superiority of e-ink readers, when others started letting it be known that they were reading on tablets and phones.
They refuse to consider that other ways of reading ebooks are valid, which is just wrong.
The same way that romance readers love being able to read on an e-ink, tablet or phone because we no longer have to worry about someone condescendingly judging us for what we choose to read, we shouldn't be judged for what device we choose to read on.
