Ereaders, the dedicated ones, are extremely rare in Hong Kong. Impossible to find even a Sony device, though some computer malls do have a few Chinese brands [e.g. Hanvon] and I found 1 shop that had a Kindle.

I was told by shopkeepers that most folks in HK who like to read usually do so on their iPhones, iPads, Tabs, whatever.

Usually, the only folks sporting dedicated ereader devices in HK are western ex-pats like me.
