And even among the young and technical crowd more read paper than ebooks. I see at least 30 people a day reading paper and maybe 20 a week reading electronically other than facebook/twitter etc.. And newspapers disappear faster than the bus can bring them.

Guess it depends on where you live or what you describe as satellite TV. Here in NYC, it's all things cable with tons of folks watching via the internet over smart phones, tablets et al, or having their internet connected to their TVs and using a service like Hulu, Netflix to catch up on shows.
As far as reading, I ride the subways daily. In every subway car, which routinely carry from 100 to 150 people, there a few things you will see. About 10 to 15 folks reading via their phones or tablets or readers, and maybe 3 or 4 print books. Many other folks are on their phones and tablets playing games etc. Every train has 10 cars.
I'm also in the park on a daily basis here to run and I see more folks with tablets and ereaders than I do print books, lounging on their towels or folding chairs.
