their books by color. Color!

That is indeed a point mentioned in the article:
"One in five Americans (20%) say they own between one and 10 physical
books, while 14% own between 11 and 25 books, and 13% between 26 and 50."

If they are young and have mostly ebooks, they may be fans of control f.
Several of my young co-workers rely on search over organization. No
proper file structure to organize files, just one big folder.
