Addicted to Kindle

'I keep on reading this newspaper you brought, and when there are words I don't understand, I want to  click on them and check what they mean in a dictionary. I wish I could do that, just like on Kindle. It is helpless that way.' True. I cannot remember last time I checked a word in a traditional dictionary. And I recall we used to do that, or use encyclopedias, back at home, a lot. 

Is it oblivious to say hardly anybody uses printed reference books these days? 

(My father would be one example to contradict that; he is hovewer an exceptional man in general)
