I rarely see books in homes any more. I know some have books on devices but I so rarely see someone reading a book on a device or hard copy that I know that is not the whole answer. I began to notice few books in homes before it was possible to read books on a device. When I was growing up homes were full of books, some people had newspapers, magazines and comic books while others had bookshelves or rooms full of books as well- but nearly everyone had something around to read.

Very true.
