Case in point: I was at Taco Bell and some came up and asked me if what I was reading on was "that Amazon ebook thingy" I said yeah and he sat down and I was showing him the different features.
I never had that happen with my Sony Reader. The promotion of the Kindle is making many regular people recognize an ebook reader for the first time...
