This is generally good advice. "Knowledge porn" is a waste of time. However, there are moments in a day when reading is one of the only things you can do. For example, while on a treadmill or 10-15 minutes before you sleep. As long as you read in those kinds of moments I don't see it as a waste of time.
On the other hand, if you're reading an hour or two a day when you could be building, showing or talking to someone then you're mismanaging your time.
