I've given Kindles, a Nook and an iPad, but I dunno that I converted anyone. I give people what I think they might like, but I don't follow up. I figure no one wants to be put on the spot if they don't like a gift, lol. And I don't mind at all if people return gifts if they don't like 'em, and get something they do like.
I did hear from one friend -- whose husband I'd given a Kindle -- that it had changed their lives. He had been incapacitated by a traumatic illness, couldn't hold a book, and was able to read again with the Kindle.
Elsewise, I don't lobby people to switch to e-reading. If they ask, I will answer.
