I don't think so. Lots of older people are changing to ereaders. A big reason is the ability to change font size. Another reason is that for those with mobility issues, ebooks can be bought without leaving the house or even getting out of their chair.

I have seen many threads on MR about people buying ereaders for their parents and grandparents. Reitrees may not think about ereaders on their own, but if they are readers, likely younger family members will think of it for them.
