Maybe it is. There is solid demographic research that ereader adoption skews much older than adoption of pretty much any other electronic tech. Maybe because older people read more, maybe because the font enlargement helps, maybe other factors too.
Most of the smartest techy/geekish people I know are women older than 50. So I'm really sick of "grandma" or "your aunt" or "your mum" being held up as the somehow obvious example of someone who must be ignorant and terrified of technology.
