I live and work in a very heavily Amish area. I was eating lunch in the local 'country' sit-down restaurant, reading my Kindle. One of the Amish waitresses came up and said "Ooooh! Is that one of those Kindle book things??" She's probably 18 or so. It made me giggle, then I gave her a tour. I was just so surprised because I have kind of had it in my mind that not too many non-geeks even know the Kindle exists. She seemed really pleased when I told her you don't need a computer to use it. Around here all the Amish have cell phones, so I guess a Kindle would be allowed.
