Where do you live Mtn.Man?

I have had almost the same conversation except people ask if my Kobo is an iPad? Some who apparently notice the size difference ask if it's a mini iPad?

I don't think the average Australian knows what a Kindle is yet. They have only been readily available for about a month.
