I'm glad to read this. I don't go to coffee shops to read - if I want to sit down, it is usually to treat my kids to a donut or cookie. I hate seeing all the tables taken over by people to cheap to get an Internet connection at home.
Notebooks are definitely a problem, iPads are mixed use so probably an issue, but I don't see the harm in people having a dedicated ebook reader - how much work can you really do with a kindle?
Plan B, enforce the "thank you for visiting, please don't stay for more than 30 minutes" signs you see up in many places.
