Yeah I am still pretty suprised that my mother-in-law decided to get a kindle touch. She isn't terribly tech adverse, but she is by no means tech savy. She mostly wanted to get one for library loans and the free classics out there. She is willing/has bought one or two ebooks since getting it as well, as she is enjoying reading on it (and loves her LED reading light for reading at night so that she doesn't keep my father-in-law awake reading any more).
The reason why I find that suprising is my in laws are extremely comfortable financially (she retired at age 50 and he retired a couple of years later at age 54). So wanting to save a couple of hundred dollars a year on books seems a little odd to me for them/her. Though I guess as one is oft to point out, a lot of those who do well financially do so through wise investing and not being wasteful just as much as being succesful in jobs.
