I'm glad he came around on this issue!
He was definitely nostalgic so I wasn't surprised to hear that he wasn't a fan of ereaders. And of course, a major work, Fahrenheit 451, doesn't work in the digital age. (I always took it as more of a fairy tale than hard s-f, so that doesn't bother me.)
But he was also a futurist, and in this case the future kind of sneaked up on him. I'm glad he was able to make peace with it.
