My SO has a PhD, works at Harvard and cannot imagine herself with web access slower than 1Mbps, so she's not exactly technophobic.
Now, when it comes to pictures, she gets mad if I just develop and scan the weekend snapshots, instead of giving her 4x6s she can put in her album. Even the $3 vs $15 cost argument doesn't work. People like books (as opposed to e-books). People like albums. It is familiar. It is convenient. It is a damn good user interface (although I personally do miss hyperlinks in paper books) !
