This is exactly why arguments about this sort of thing happen all the time. Not silly claims. Not ridiculous claims. Just unnecessarily judgmental claims. "Serious" and casual readers abound on both sides of the eink/tablet divide. So why is it that eink proponents seem to need eink to be seen as the hardcore readers' reader choice? It's like claiming many people who like paperbacks are casual readers (less than an hour a day) compared to those who prefer hardcovers.

I make no guesses about how "seriously" those who prefer eink approach their reading. Or how much they read, or for how long they read each day. So why can't that be reciprocated?
