Oh, and use the same e-book reader they prefer to use.
I can honestly say I've never experienced a vegetarian giving an omnivore grief over eating meat. I have however personally experienced the opposite. Some people get prickly and defensive when they find out there's a vegetarian around. I've had people I barely know come up to me and bother me about not eating meat.

The worst though, and I say this with no malice, are the no-carb Atkins types. The one's I've met have been weirdly confrontational.
