Very, very good point. My father very rarely read books, but he read the paper every day. He had a newspaper subscription until the day he died. I delivered papers for a couple of years when I was a kid. I had two different paper routes. I would say that on the streets that I delivered papers, somewhere from 2/3rds to 3/4ths received the evening paper. There was also a morning paper, so it's likely that the vast majority of houses on those routes got some sort of paper.
