Absolutely. Notice I didn't JUST say Kindle. I included the Nook Touch in my statement.

In my case, MY wife wants to borrow my e-reader, an Android tablet, to play Angry Birds. But a couple of times, I have mentioned a cool story I read and she has been interested, but doesn't want to read it on the computer.

I thought of finding a good short story and having her read that as I don't want to give up my ereader while she reads a whole novel.

Only if you don't have to strip DRM first.

I guess one is never too old nor too young to be "converted". I am now offering either e-readers or vouchers for e-books to my loved ones (after showing them how practical e-reading is), and they are very happy. So far, I have converted my parents (both over 60), my son (10), and two friends (50 and 35).
My sweetheart of 20 odd years does not want to be approached with an e-reader as a birthday or Xmas present. He is still hoping for a red Ferrari....
Somehow I get the impression he's going to have a long wait for the red Ferrari. lol.

It's almost an exercise in futility.
Your wife sounds very much like mine. She just isn't in to electronic toys like I am.
