I am much less patient with poorly written or unengaging books though, I used to fully embrace sunk cost fallacy, now I'll just decide something isn't engaging me and drop it.

I do find it easier to find interesting books now, I'll find a decent author I hadn't read before and then just get their whole back catalog on Kobo or Kindle. I used to reread all the time because it was too much trouble to always be getting new physical books, now it's literally find a book, buy it and download it in a couple minutes, day or night.

And I'm older than Locke! Frankly it's surprising they even had literacy when I was a kid.
Its so much more convenient not having to read by the whale-oil lamp anymore...
