Mine own eyes can't see ultra small print - hence tending to larger print. Yeah half my reading is on the 'puter.
I threw away a 26 volume 1980 edition of Britannica - no market where I live in Oz, took up space. Wikipedia vastly better.
One of the Bond Girls (according to Dr No script I think?) educated herself by reading the many volure Encyclopedia on her isolated tropical island. I think in laid-down-and-easy fashion, she'd gotten to the letter "O".
My Mazda does all. Its got a HUD and everything - so none of those pre-2015 Chitty-Chitty Bang Bangs for me :)
I just take my care for its dealer checkup once a year. Have no idea of innards.

About the Land Rover at Phil's funeral 11.40pm Aus Eastern Time Saturday on Channel Nine:
"The palace revealed the first images of the specially built Land Rover Prince Philip helped design to carry his coffin. [see Land Rover http://live-production.wcms.abc-cdn.net.au/ae0618e422e04b778a2a9f8623ba2589?impolicy=wcms_crop_resize&cropH=2000&cropW=3000&xPos=0&yPos=0&width=862&height=575 ]
Land Rover originally built in 2003, Phil designed the open-top rear section that will hold his casket.
It has been by maintained and updated by Land Rover over the years, with the most recent modifications happening in 2019."
