'Books are sociable and people stop and talk to each other about them.'
Then why is a book the first thing someone carries with them if they do not want to be bothered when travelling for some distance (plane/train/bus)?
Also, I have been in a room with other readers and we were all pretty much silent the entire time. I guess if we were attempting to all meet and read the exact same thing as if in a book club, it would be different, but wouldn't an ereader still work the same in this situation?
