Count me in the "get off my lawn" crowd. But more telling is the large number of members of the generation or two BEFORE me that also are ebookers. But they may not count so much for this informal poll since they are also mostly tech illiterate.
Then how can they be big digital reading fans? Easy. They don't see it as tech, they see it as another book. You know: hardback, paperback, trade paperback, audio, ebook. (I'm not a big Kindle fan but DO fully endorse it for many people if nothing else for the ease of getting books. I have explained the DRM limits to them before but the general opinion is "So? I'll probably be in the ground before they get a chance to change it." You gotta love smart-alecy oldsters.) As long as they can just click, pay and read, they're happy. (And for more than a few, ebooks are the ONLY way they can read again, curse bad mobility and/or failing eyes.)
