Maybe there should be a separate thread for "Best pick-up lines for someone using an e-reader."
A coffee shop is better than a bar. The ereader provides a conversation starter for someone to approach you: "Is that one of those Kindles I've heard about?"

I tried reading in a strip club once. (Make sure you bring a reading light.) Most of the girls made a trip by my table to check out the ereader and chat. Perhaps they were just miffed I wasn't watching the show.
