I have taken my Reader to Paris lots of times with no problems at all. Not even when wandering round very late at night. Also I've taken it to London fairly frequently.

I did, however, get some comments when I used my Asus EEE in a Parisian park (Le Jardin des Halles). Most public parks have free wifi, so I was catching up on my emails. People kept stopping and asking whether that small thing was a computer, and whether it could search the internet etc.

I have always found that in unfamiliar cities one should keep one's eyes open, trust one's intuitions when going about, and generally be polite and friendly to the inhabitants. Just exercise the same natural prudence that you would deploy in your home city.
