I've yet to find a NYC cafe that bans ereaders. I believe that there are, but not one was mentioned in the article. I've nary seen a sign. There was a WSJ article awhile back pretty much said the same thing sans French cafes bit.

And there was that big writeup in the NYT about the Brooklyn cafe which encouraged laptop nomads. What the heck are you supposed to believe?

I like Hefferman's column, but this one - needs some proof.
