Has anyone traveled with an eInk device? Did security notice it or comment upon it or ask "What the heck is it?" Did you have to take it out of your carryon like a laptop? I like to be prepared.
I've taken my 500 and now 505 on trips with me. My 500 has been to Scotland. My 505 has been to New York City and Naples, Florida. I've had the reader in my bag when it went through the scanner. it was no problem at all. They never checked my bag or asked about the reader. My wife's 500 has gone with us as well. Again, no problem with her taking her 500 along. Nobody has evenr asked what it is.

The only thing you have to note is that during takeoff and landing, you cannot be reading from your eink device.
