I don't know anyone else with an ebook reader. I think a bigger factor in not using ebook readers is not a disinterest in reading but being too lazy/stupid to learn to use the technology. My whole family relies on me to put music on their mp3 players and software on their computers. If they were given an ebook reader they would probably discard it rather than learn how to download books (unless the Amazon Kindle system is simpler than the Sony eBook Store).
A few of my friends would probably use an ebook reader were they given it but I doubt they'd buy one themselves because they don't read much and would rather spend their money elsewhere (ie on beer).
