Younger generations are more accustomed to the monitor and to seeing
information scroll along, so "reading" information and learning from PDFs
on screen is much easier.

Actually, at 25 I think I am probably part of that younger generation
(definitely not a boomer) and _I_ don't learn well from computer screens. I
generally edit and study on paper.
I don't think the masses will be PDF babies until my generation has kids...
