My experience (but I admit that it can be a limited and "lucky" experience) is that skeptics ask questions, such as "but isn't it annoying to turn page a lot because of the small screen size" or "isn't the font too small to read comfortably" and similar questions. I have never seen someone who is skeptical about something (anything, not only reading devices) just throwing sentences like "a sad picture
for those who have 5 inches devices".
As long as I read him ask things like "do I read this right? How is it possible to read comfortably on such small devices?", I simply considered him uninformed. Which is fine: everyone is uninformed until they find a source of information.
But the picture of the small notepad with the ruler on it, sounds to me like "hey look, in case no one of you ever noticed, you're just reading on a small notepad! And I noticed it
even before trying." That, and the use of the word "sad", as if we should regret a carefully planned purchase.
Because, by reading this forum, I noticed that people spend a lot of time asking, searching, comparing and trying (when possible) devices before throwing a couple of hundred bucks (if not more) into a purchase.
But now he makes assumptions before even trying something: that's one step beyond skepticism, at the very least.
