I think Covid had a lot of people reading more than usual for the
first few years anyways. I know that's when our library started
advertising that they treat incoming books so they were safe.

There are some nice things about eReaders and the Apps for phones
and Tablets.. I have all my devices set up for reading with a highly
adaptable setup for font size, colours and background screens.
And I have many thousands (15k+) of eBooks in my collections, so I
obviously have nothing against them.

But, that said, I still prefer a paper book if I can get it.   B)
