Guess you just never "got used to it"!
...okay, you're right, preference is up to the user. But my point is, if you are exposed to something at an early age, you will be more inclined to be comfortable with it as you get older.
The other point I should have made is, if you want something bad enough... like being able to read and learn... you'll get used to the available tools and make do. When I was young (never mind how long ago!), I wanted to be able to edit documents on portable computers, so I, who grew up using Royal manual typewriters (and now you know how long ago!) got used to on-screen PDA keyboards, and for awhile, could stylus-type as fast as I could hunt-and-peck type.
Never underestimate the power of desire. Lack of e-ink won't hold those kids back.
