I work in a restaurant on the Alaska Highway with about 90% transient business.
3 years ago I had the only ereader in town and saw about 6 in 5 months.
2 years ago at least 20 were owned locally out of a poulation of 400, mostly non-readers (10 by people who liked mine) and I saw approximately the same numer of readers as printed books being read.
iPads were showing up but nobody I asked (and I asked everyone) actually read books on them.
This year I see far more tablets than readers and one tablet owner told me they read books on it.
But... I see far more ebook readers than paper books being read. Online activities are more prevalent and newspapers are stiil the preferred reading of choice though in a restaurant so who can say for sure.
