Given, though, that they're going to have to buy their
books for the device on-line, perhaps the whole concept of eBook readers wouldn't appeal to such people?
I know that you're right in what you say - my parents don't own a computer and wouldn't dream of buying anything online, even if they did have one. I've offered to buy them one, but they just aren't interested. Most of their friends of their own generation feel similarly.
