I thought it was fun - especially the one time it was a doctor who otherwise looked like he was in a big hurry but acted like he just couldn't resist. Then there was the time I took it to one of my appointments, and the nurse caught me reading while waiting for the doctor in the exam room. Once I explained what I had, she took off with the reader to show the other nurses and the doctor. I've always wondered how many sales I made that day...
Outside of the doctor and nurses, I've only had one person start a conversation about my Kindle in a doctor's waiting room. When she did, another fellow mentioned he had a Sony, but he didn't know what model he had, and didn't seem to know much about it.

My dentist, along with the dental hygienist, the aides and receptionists who work in his office, are always asking what I'm reading.

I've yet to see anyone but me with an e-reader in public, although one of my workmates occasionally brings his NookColor. He's not much of a reader, though.
