I have never felt the slightest temptation to read a paper novel since I bought my first Kindle. OTOH, there are plenty of young people who don't read e-books at all, only paper.
This. Although I will always have a few paper books on my shelves for sentimental reasons, I totally prefer ebooks as a senior citizen. I mostly sold off my paper books as I purchased ebook replacements. (Glad I did a lot of that before Agency pricing....)

I'm of the generation that grew up prior to things like smartphones, tablets, wifi, internet.

Paper books are now purchased only if I want to digitize them! Like some of my father's childhood books. Or mine.
