Lol! I found that's true also. Especially for the the younger gen. it all can be done on one device, a large phone. They see no need for anything else. The older gen. like my ancient uncle 89 and counting. Loved it for his fishing camp use. He never heard of an e reader and would read the same magazines or paperbacks. No wifi or internet at the camp which is how he likes it. So the paperwhite was something he likes but never heard of before. The first thing he said when I showed it to him was " What the heck is that ? " I loaded some books about fishing and magazines. He loved it ! He takes it to the camp and charges it at home when he comes back a couple weeks later. He has an account now and I showed him how to buy books so he has added quite a few to his collection. Now I'm thinking he would probably like a waterproof kindle paperwhite to bring on his boat. So far I don't have one to give him though. If he drops the one he has in the lake then I'll probably get him a used Paperwhite 4 or on sale. He really does love it
