Ironic

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think interior decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.

Ironic that the golden age of reading will happen without any actual books. (In the sense of bound paper.)

But then... much as the book has been the enabling device for reading, compared to digital, it is mostly a big bottleneck. Just go to rural Simbabwe and try to buy all your summer reading without a Net connection!
