That may be part of it. Also ebooks are quicker to purchase and have to hand of course. Certainly there are probably older readers who do have trouble getting around who find the ease of buying an ebook very convenient. I also think though that a number of readers (both older and younger) also at least on a subconscious level see ereaders and devices like the Kindle Fire as not unlike the P.A.D.D. that they had on ST:TNG and other spin offs a few decades back. Sort of a taste of the 24th century in the 21st.
