As far as I can see that's not a general claim beyond his workplace, so I don't see where the upset is coming from.

If the objection is 'heavy readers' vs 'real readers', then people need to calm down a bit - it's pretty clear from context what he meant.

His claim certainly didn't come across to me as in any way snobbish or derogatory.

In any case, even if it had been a general claim, saying 'real readers mostly use e-ink' is not the same thing as saying 'anyone who doesn't use e-ink isn't a real reader'.

Storm in a teacup!
Thank you. That is exactly right.
