I actually found pcworld to be quite usefull, I did not talk to anybody but they had half a dozen models lined up and turned on to try. You had to unplug the sony's to make them work but even so.
Then I went and bought one cheaper online... Which is partly why a lot of stores are giving up. Anyway who is going to buy a kindle from tesco's when it's the same price from amazon?
A barnes and noble person practically mugged me when I went near the nook display. Rather annoying as I would have liked to try it in peace. Mind you he said he had trouble getting his to respond to touch too as we poked it which rather spoiled the effect (though my sister likes hers).
The only place I have seen ereaders being used is on the London underground trains where the odd person has them. Ipads you actually see a fair amount on trains and especially planes which I guess is what they are most usefull for.
