E-books and Kindles have been a thing for decades now. If young people (or people in general) were going to make the switch in total, the book industry would have collapsed by now. It hasn't. It seems there is something different about the written word. Something tangible that people don't want to give up, and we should all count our blessings for that. Because like you said, everything else has either died off or shrunken down to niche. So it's good to see books carry  the mantel.

that is a fair point I can concede.  Books haven't decline 97% like movies, books are hanging tough.  Even by 2030, physical books are expected to be 50% market share, perhaps a bit more.  

I was going to make a joke about me being in the one percentile, but then I realized I'm still communicating on video game message boards and had a laugh. We're fossils by default, these days. lol
