I read my Kindle on the bus or waiting for friends in a restaurant - I am always early and they are always late. No-one has ever commented on it or even seemed to notice. My fellow citizens tend to be reserved anyway so I am not surprised. I do sing its praises to my friends and work colleagues and have made quite a few converts. I do get tired of the old 'prefer the smell of/feel of a book'. Why do people suppose it is one or the other?
I do understand not wanting to draw attention to yourself especially if it would be seen to be showing off.
