I was a real estate broker for over twenty years. One of things I enjoyed was touring houses and looking for what people were reading. Years ago most homes had some kind of library. In recent years more and more homes had no books at all. This became very depressing. Grant a lot of people, myself included are using kindle, but that’s not the whole explanation. To me it explains the gross ignorance we displayed everyday in this country.

It's great that you at least noticed the trend! Shows the importance of paper. Many old recipes that our elders have will never be on the interwebs, right?

Plus kindle has blue light, which at night lowers melatonin and can destroy our growth and testosterone hormones: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/i/107636609/blue-light-affects-our-hormones

I love to look at interiors on Zillow, and whenever there’s a bookcase I zoom in to see what the people living there like to read. Same with magazines. I’ve been known to get out a magnifying glass to read the titles. In this way I’ve learned about and read many books I otherwise wouldn’t have known existed.
