That's a valid question. I wanted him to have physical, tangible books. A reader like the Victor Reader is, for someone who doesn't use technology, a mysterious box where the books are hidden behind buttons. I was afraid that this type of solution would discourage him. I may be wrong, but the impression I got from the existing products was they had a learning curve that my grandfather, at his age, wasn't willing to take. With his current reader, his books are actually book sized. He can have a pile of books he finished reading. There's something more "real" about it.

It doesn't actually require a lot more maintenance, except putting the titles on the "books". Other than that, we keep reusing the same cards.
