Attending a live performance does not require the consumer to have a device.
Whether a physical book is more convenient is very subjective. I did a lot of recreational book reading from second grade through high school. Closed stacks in the college library put a serious dent into my book reading and the demands of grad school deepened that dent. After school, I continued reading magazines cover to cover for a few years, but almost completely reading books. Recreational reading, even magazines, dropped to near 0 for decades. Off and on, starting in the 90's, I tried reading on laptops. No go. I would occasionally start reading a paper book, but almost never get very far. In 2009, despite the high cost and reluctance to get such a specialized device, I bought a kindle. Since then, my book reading has pretty much monotonically increased, almost entirely ebooks.
