Probably very true. I have a friend who reads books on her IPad at times, and she didn't understand the difference with e-ink when I tried to explain to her. I also showed my friend Amber in person when she just had a fire, and she fell in love with the difference since she mainly reads outside during her lunch break, and the glare was killing her. She converted to a paperwhite and gave her tablet away to a friend who couldn't afford an e-reader. She also purchased her mom a paperwhite as a gift for her to join in on our book club.
