@TinJar As someone who mostly switched to ebooks in my mid-sixties, partly due to resizable type, I find the implication that reading requires physical books offensive.

@ElyseMGrasso I am so sorry. I certainly didn't intend to offend. I am very much in your boat - completely stopped reading paper-books more than 15 years ago. I felt that the article was highlighting the growth of readership in other parts of the world as there is more access to education and growing incomes. Having said that, another article suggested that the plethora of lit festivals in places such as India don't necessarily indicate new readers. Rather they are new places to hang out at.
