I did so only once regarding ereaders at my local bookshop. The customers wanted a gift for their 70yr old mother and were afraid if anyone of them would be able to handle the software to upload books.

Also I had noticed that the salesperson was not learned enought to explain the difference between the screen technology of an Aluratek Libre and a Sony PRS650...

A couple of days later when I revisited the store the salesperson expressed her gratitude for the piece of knowledge she had gathered as these things were never properly explained to the staff and the training they had for the readers was scarce. Most bookshops still regard ereaders as unwanted competiton for their booksells and do not train their staff to sell them. Which is a shame because this particular shop has its own ebookshop and a happy customer will very likely buy there.
