I participated in a larirety festival this weekend (which I plan to start blogging about this week, once I've processed it all!), and was pleasantly surprised by how many older people I saw with Kindles or other e-readers. They're definitely not just gadgets for younger or tech-savvy crowds, but can prove quite practical, especially for avid readers. I haven't purchased one myself yet, but know without a doubt that I will be in the future.
