In all of the stores that I have visited that are selling ebook readers (Best Buy, Target, Borders, and Barnes & Noble) The devices are not only selling, but quite often selling out. The devices on display 95% of the time are working properly (very rarely do I see one defective or dead) and have a pretty heavy traffic flow around them. Maybe it's just that these items sell better in the US than in other countries or maybe it's just in Savannah and San Antonio (the two places that I have frequented recently that I can attest to). In any event, I have seen ebook readers around town, at the airport, and, of course, in the stores. I have seen a good amount of interest, and I tend to think that the devices are well represented, in spite of the fact that a few places have issues with staff being difficult to work with.
