I feel like there is a lack of understanding how or what about e-ink. My partner only grasped the concept that it's not an emmisive display after the 5th time explaining. And some friends still don't seem to understand the difference between an e-reader and tablet. (they are extremely tech-illiterate)

If I extrapolate this, there have to be a lot of people who don't want an e-reader because 'they don't want to look at a screen'.

Just it's a slow screen that's better for reading in the sun.

Don't have to convince me. I probably said something similar but it just doesn't connect. They probably just think there is only one kind of display. I never really pushed it further to be honest. .

just popping in to say that, as somebody who is very affected by looking at a screen before going to sleep, my Kindle is one of the best value items that I've ever had.

Well, let them read on paper, then.
