Over here it's mostly smartphones (Android more than iOS) and tablets, with the occasional laptop: most are gaming, texting, listening to music or doing something else however; the actual readers are still mostly toting pbooks!
And they're mostly women... many of whom are reading locally published books in our national language with their hackneyed plots. Sigh. Nothing against the ladies, or my national language, but the books that come from local publishers in the national language aren't exactly good literature, if you take my meaning.
Dedicated e-reader hardware isn't easily come by in Malaysia, alas since Amazon and B&N seem to dislike Asian countries for shipping and such.
