Counting iPads almost certainly skews the results; CA has lots of iPads.

Agreed. I take public transport every day (in Berkeley) and at wildly different times each day. In the year since I bought my nook (and the whole E-ink thing went mainstream), I have seen exactly ONE other ereader in public. Of course, it's more than likely that people are reading on their smart phones instead of getting dedicated ereaders, but still ...
Maybe we're just too poor for ereaders
and our nieghbors across the bay have most of those 18%
