The only ones I see "in the wild" are the two people at work I've talked into buying them (2 eBookwise, and 1 Sony), and another co-worker who's currently borrowing my eBookwise.
Wait! I
did see a Kindle "in the wild". I went to a reader/writer conference booksigning just to meet a favorite author. When I pulled out my Sony to show her why she couldn't sign my copy of her book, the author to her right pulled out her Kindle!
I was so happy to have had the chance to see a Kindle - they're smaller than I'd imagined from the pictures. I still think I'd be pressing text keys by accident all the time, and I still think the white plastic is ugly, but if something happened to my Sony I'd be silly not to at least
consider the Kindle as a replacement. Amazon has books I can't find anywhere else ... legally.
