"This generation" (man you guys all sound ancient) does plenty of recreational reading, it's just not always in the format that you old fogies see as 'reading'. Most of it is done online; things like blogs and, yes, social networking sites. I don't think that devalues the reading simply because it's not what I do for recreational reading.
I don't really care about extras on dvds; my husband does. It's another way for the movie industry to drive sales, and this is just the publishing industry version of that. I don't want the extras, but I don't see why others can't enjoy them.
