She didn't know what a Kindle was so he explained that it was like a small computer you hold in your hand to read books. The woman immediately latched on to how bad computer screens are for the eyes when reading. I just sighed. Bad description, bad expectations.
I heard that one too! I think I slapped my forehead when I heard that.
