The wider issue is that people tend to generalise from their own experience, OR they assume that their experience, being a counter-example, disproves a more general trend.

Leaving aside the clickbait headline the article in the OP seems quite reasonable to me. It's certainly not anti eInk reader, referring to them as "inventive technology" and calling the decline in their use "tragic". What it is doing is reporting on a decline, with figures to back it up.

It's fine to disagree with the conclusions drawn by the article from the data, but an anecdote or two doesn't counter the trend shown by that data, because well it's a trend.

It can be both true that use of eInk has declined and you and all your friends still use and love eInk devices.
