Many older people begin to detach from things. We can't take them with us when we downsize from a family home to something smaller. We get tired of dusting them and moving them. We realize the impermanence of everything. Pretty much all my older friends prefer ebooks to paper books for this reason, along with the fact that they are more comfortable to read.
It is not arrogant to prefer either book format. We are just in different places in life.
