Nice unattributed anecdotal evidence... well, two can play that game... far more of my clients and friends have Win PCs than Macs and in more than twenty five years, I've dealt with two infected Macs (back in the early 90's) and lost count of the PCs because I've dealt with viral, trojan and worm attacks several times a month on the Win PCs.
In any case, ending up with any computer system down for three weeks tends to smack of tech support incompetence...
And to get back to the OP, in three and a half years of eReader usage (various), never come across a live attack on anything...

My pals tell me that of the last thirty cyber break ins twnety nine have been mac based and one was Windows based. The windows one did not get very far and the mac ones wound up shutting down all of the office's macs for three weeks.
