Does your Reader helps meeting new people in real life?

I was flying from Brussels this week back home, and had a stop over in Munich. So as mainly use my Sony during travel, sat down, had a beer & started reading. 15 minutes later a chap with what came up a to be a Cybook sat down next to me, drinking and reading as well. We looked curiously at each other, and of course started talking about Readers. Than friend of his came up with the beer nad pulled out his PRS-500. We almost ended up exchanging our SD-cards .
After 2 hours talking of our experiences, books we have, formatting, blah, blah (and few more beers than expected so had to get a nap on the plane) I ended up knowing interesting people who did not know about this forum (they know now) & came to conclusion that Reader became a social tool. I guess in the EU Readers are not very popular as yet as they are in the US? How is it there? Anyone with similar experiance
