I hope those text-reading devices never take off. I like having a stack of books around me. I'm sure I'm not the only one whose idea of interior decoration is placing soft- and hardcovers wherever, depending on where they're read. But I also like opening a newspaper, though I just read a columnist who boasted that words longer than two syllables scare him. And oh yeah, the other one who has written every single week of the past decade that violent crime is on the rise. I don't think newspapers will die, but I do think they'll increasingly resort to nothing less than tabloid journalism, for your grandmother to pick up on at the supermarket checkout aisle (I guess by that age she'll have little to ruminate upon in life beyond five minutes of questionable safety to and fro the retirement home).
