Sorry ...
I should have read the thread more carefully, paying attention to who is posting what.

I used to have PocketBook 360 that nicely and discreetly fit to the pocket of my standard issue, "Personal protective equipment" clothes I [sometimes] use at work when I am doing job on site.

When I am on [a building] site, doing supervision or waiting for a shutdown, or on standby, or working as a translator/interpreter, they look at me accusingly when they see me with my 6" device. Somehow, holding a device that masquerades as a phone is *much* more acceptable ;-)
Mind you, I am just wasting time anyway - waiting for the technology to be ready or for some unplanned outage or for programmers to finish the latest software change, or for other favorable conditions to start commissioning or testing or whatever. Am I supposed so stare blankly, or chain-smoke, or chat idly like the rest of the crew?
