 So what?  The desktop is where everything happens in the modern world.
There is no way to escape the desktop.

The only electronic choice you have is really with the desktop, and it
may not look like it but it is as big as the whole power grid in your
region.

 If the power grid were to ever fail, permanently, then that would
indicate that civilization itself was failing.  It wouldn't just
be the power grid, but also the natural gas lines, the food supply,
the medical supply, etc., etc.  One would be fucked from all
directions.  There would be no time for books.  All effort would
be directed toward keeping your jealous neighbors from ransacking
you property.
 But civilization will not fail.  I have faith that the power will
always be available and I will be comfortable with my e-books at my
desktop.
 

A hardcopy doesn't have a "display cable" attached to it that goes bad :)
I'm still using my $12 thingy (with no problems whatsoever too) because the matter of my main computer isn't resolved yet. Still too soon to take the now "late Relf"'s advice.
If the power grid collapses (which may - depends on what a lunatic Trump is, and whether cro-magnons' time has come), and as you said, together with it, the food supply and security collapses, I bet those huge sized pots you always see in Mexican grocery stores become a hot item :)
Hispanics would need to cut a cro-magnon only in three pieces max to throw a piece in them and boil them to a perfection in soup. Beating even French cuisines. And curiously, you only see those pots in Mexican stores :)
Many of my neighbors are Hispanic, and almost all of them have one of those large pots sometimes appearing in their yard. They throw a whole goat or sheep inside after removing skins and innards, and boil them. Then the whole family and friends feast on them. They have to cook them outside. Too big for kitchens' facilities.
Blacks, on the other hand, would not need to even cook them. If you ask me, they'll devour cro-magnons raw, still warm.
Just south of Mexican border here, every single year, some cro-magnons disappear, then a week or two later only their heads are found. Never the rest of the body. The heads, often, have chicken legs hammered into their ear canals with the paws sticking out on both sides.
Every year!
This world has some rules to it, want it or not. Cro-magnons have broken every one of them.
