I agree with you. For one thing as people talk about how vinyl has disappeared etc as we speak the current generation is just discovering it and there are two vinyl stores in my town. People are always looking for vinyl records so they can get the 'oldies' in vinyl. Having said that my generation (in my 60s) were fascinated by 78s and have tons of them I inherited from my father. I love listening to them.
I think tablet is the going to be the thing. i bought a Kobo Aura for Xmas and had a lot of problems with it ie returning it as defective etc. Last night my problems were solved. My cat knocked it off my desk and it is now toast. I ordered a Google Nexus which I should have done in the first place!
Everything old will be new again some day. I love reading a book but ereaders and tablets are very handy to carry when going to appointments etc.
