Yeah right. A lady who spent 31 years looking after paper books, has 5,000 in her collection at her own home and she is supposed to jump up and down in glee at the thought of an electronic replacement? She did think the 505 is very pretty. That is, I think, a reasonable response - and not deserving of being called a luddite. More power to the lady in question, she is pursuing a hobby she loves - still searching after things she finds interesting, and enjoying the chase.
As e-readers evolve and become more available they will be adopted by people of all ages - as they have in the USA. If the technology is good enough, and if the prices asked for e-books are not unfair, this should not take too long.
