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?

Besides which, I've had many more strangers approach me and engage in conversation about my ereader when I've been using/carrying it than I ever had when I've had a DTB in my hands.
I'd say that makes it
more social. Now if I could just get people to stop referring to it as a "Kindle"...when it's a NOOK.
