Very small percentage of the population here.
I have however, seen several people with e-readers in the library and on benches at my university (if that counts as public)

That's strange... I'm from the Sacramento area and travel through the Bay Area and Southern California quite a bit for my job, and I see a lot of people reading books and ereaders, especially when I fly....
In the past couple of years, I saw a lot of Kindles and Sony readers (when I could actually see what people were using). However, more recently (past 6 months), I am seeing IPads a lot more. In flying, especially to Southern California, it seems people are a bit in a show-off type mode. People I used to see with Kindles are now showing off their IPads. These people are also playing more games as far as I can tell.
I still see a lot of people reading good old fashion DTB when I fly as well, and they always snicker when people like me are told to turn their Kindles off. It's all good as I don't really like to read during take offs and landings anyway.
