I've been a train guard for a few years and I see loads of gadgets through the course of the day. I've seen 100's of DS's & PSP's, Macbooks, lappy's, iPods, Archos etc (and a single, solitary, GP2X, heh). Prior to today I've never seen anyone using a Reader, or indeed any of the other e-ink devices. Today, though, I saw two separate passengers, one with a PRS500, the other with a silver 505 (like mine).

Good to see them knocking about and I'll be pleased when they finally see an official release here - I'd have much preferred to purchase an official UK one as I'm always slightly troubled as to how on earth I'd get my 505 fixed were it to break.

edit: gah, I spelt separate wrong in the title.
