It's not conclusive by any means, but the last few folks I've seen using a reader on the subway have been women.
But meanwhile, given the enormous popularity of the romance genre, my offhand guess is that more women than men

2) eBooks are discreet: You might even read a hardcore porn novel during a bus ride and your neighbor wouldn't necessarily notice.
This is a privacy which might also attract more readers to consider eBooks. "What you always wanted to read in public but never dared to open".
