I always read when I am at lunch. For some reason, as was pointed out earlier, people think it is OK to disturb me in reading, just because I have a "thingy" they don't know what is. Typical questions I get is:
1: Is that a Kindle? (I have an Opus, but I can understand the question as the Kindle is the only one people here have actually heard about.)
2. Is that an iPad? (Uhm, no? This is usually followed by a question about why I went for this instead of an iPad...)
3. Lots of questions about almost everything mentioned earlier in this thread, most of which I answer happily.
Then, when I have answered these questions, people usually ask if they can have a look at the "thingy". Took me a good while to learn to just say no, because what always happens is that people start pushing on the screen. You do not want people pushing (hard, because it is not working!) on the screen of an e-reader that does not have touch-screen! Oh, did I mention greasy fingers? We are at lunch, after all... So, just say no!
