You are ignoring most of the reasons wheels gave you. He said an e-book is harder for sharing, cannot be stored in a physical location and requires a theft prone device that makes the owner look nerdy. He also said he prefers the sensory experience of a book to that of a device. Your evangelism addresses only the last point and your premise - wheels is unfamiliar with modern e-readers - appears without basis.
Sorry, I think I'm coming off as an evangelist when the reason I replied specifically to wheels is because I know him personally and it was intended as a personal recommendation to try out since I had many of the same complaints as him a few months ago. He saw the earlier version of my comment, and I edited that out before he wrote his response (and my first thought was the wrong one, and not really worded the way I intended it to be, so he called me out on that and he was right).
I'm not trying to sell anyone on it, I'm more interested in seeing if people switch back after they've tried it. That would be more interesting to me.
