Famous cartoon from the early days of word processing:

An intern is showing people around the day room of the New York Times. Perhaps 50 or 60 men and women are working at their computers. Suddenly, an outburst: "Dammit to hell!"

A "little old lady" in the front of the group asks the guide: "Is it murder?"

The guide says: "No, that's Bill. He's still tryijng to use Microsoft Word."

I ain't Bill.
Fair enough. While I have an extensive library of "real" books, I find I only manage to read the ones I get Kindle versions of any more.
