The weasel wording here is "makes it easy". The author gets to determine what is easy and what isn't. Considering that he's quoting a user who thinks a Kindle requires technical skill to use anything other than Amazon-sourced e-books, his definition of
easy is pretty clear.
The quote from BoB about netbooks is just bizarre. As written (which may or may not be the way Bob LiVolsi actually said it) it sounds like: If you like technology, not books, get a dedicated reading device. If you like books, not technology, get a low-powered, under-performing notebook computer. Huh?
