We do not know that.

He is obviously speaking from ignorance of what an ebook reader is, and can do.

Education is a wonderful thing.

I don't think anyone has ever sat with him and said "Look! This is what it does, this is why I love it, now pick a book you'd like to read, and go sit down with it. Any questions, speak out and I'll answer."

I think he's truly confusing ebook readers with ipods, the new smart phones and video game consoles...
