But that’s just me, I can’t speak for the older set…

I mean in a sense not really, as older people are less likely to adopt newer technology.

But man, once you get used to being able to adjust the font size, it’s hard to go back. I’ve purchased digital copies of books that people have given to me in paper form - I’m just too spoiled by being able to increase the font size a notch or two.

Book clubs are not a common activity for most Americans, according to the recent survey

Were they ever common??
