I also take the New York subway and the New Jersey Path trains and I've seen 3 Kindles, two on the same day and two Sony readers (besides my own) in 6 months. I'd expect to see more because commuting is the perfect excuse to buy one, but I also think we are still in an early adopter phase, that and the pricing keeps you from seeing more than you might expect.
