I confess that a short year and a half ago, April 2010, I was in the US. From Canada, I had never seen a Kindle or an iPad in person. A lady in my hotel was reading in the lobby, and I asked if that was an iPad. No - it was a Kindle but huge, a DX (still don't have those in Canada AFAIK). She was eager to show me she was reading her local hometown morning newspaper and I am sorry to say I was disappointed it wasn't an iPad and that I didn't show more enthusiasm. I am now on my second Kobo (orig then WiFi), and got my husband and son Kobo Touches, and know so much about eReaders that all my friends ask me for advice. (I also had an iPad, now an iPad 2, and an iPhone; just got the Kobo Vox. So I'm kind of a technology addict and am sorry I kind of brushed the excited Kindle lady off.)
