What was going on when you were born ??

Hmm, I didn't find it condescending at all. Just talking about progress -- the planets keep on spinning as things change.

Aren't they called "books" even if you read them on Kindle? So I don't see anything wrong w/ "have you read this book."

They are called 'ebooks' if they are made to be read with ereaders or computer etc. But that is not the point. A book is a book is a book. Whether it on paper or not. The fact it was pointedly said books on paper. Also, I don't find anything wrong with them saying 'have you read this book' it is what they say after, 'Do you even know this book?' That's rather rude even in a roundabout way, kind of insinuating that we do NOT know these things. I just didn't particularly appreciate the whole tone of the thing. Like I said though, 'some of the actual facts are quite interesting.'
