We have been on holiday to Tenerife. At the airport coming home there was a British family.
Mum, Dad and 3 children who looked between 10 and 14 and each one was reading a proper book.
No phones or tablets in sight.

Nor me. Plus what if you start a book and it’s crap? With the kindle you can move on!

Very true.

My husband is 80and his eyesight isn't great. He tends to have audio books now. I can only imagine the judgement.

That's a nice rare sight.
