I certainly don't buy or use them, but my dad loves books. Real paper books. He has books all over his bedroom, home office and our family room. Dirty, dust catching, germy books! I gave him a Kindle for his birthday once and he returned it. He said he likes reading actual books. He likes actual newspapers too and we get one every day. Any news worth reading will be on social media so newspapers are totally obsolete. My dad is only 40 but sometimes he acts like an old fart! It could be worse. My grandparents still have a landline and they have this old phone that stays on the wall. You have to stand there the whole time you talk. And all this "phone" can do is call people, no other functions! And for her "contacts" she has this thing she keeps by her wall phone called a roller deck. Its this thing full of paper cards with handwritten names and numbers. It's just sad.
