Or books about witchcraft, the occult, and entheogens, with recipes for various psychotropic herbal mixes that enhance spiritual revelations if used properly.
Or explicit slash fanfic, involving Harry Potter and several of his peers in more-than-compromising positions. And the "secret lives of Wayne & Kent, and my-oh-my let's talk Kryptonian stamina."
Being seen to read trashy pop fiction is the least of my worries. I'd never fret about being seen reading anything that can be bought at Barnes & Noble or Waldenbooks. However, with the Reader, I get people glancing over saying, "oh, is that one of those ebook things? I've been wondering about them? Do they work okay?"
I can't very well turn to them and say, "Oh yes, looks just like paper, see..." and show them a page out of "Harry Potter And The Bound Prince."
