And I can't take this poll - if I say "yes", it implies that the Kindle is only for women and if I say "no" I'm saying it's not for women - both of which are silly.

Kindle is for *readers*.
I agree. I am a gadget addict and I am very much female. Sad that these stereotypes still persist. I also don't care for romance novels. My tastes run to contemporary literature, sci-fi, horror and non fiction. I have never read Fifty Shades of Crap and don't plan on ever doing so.

I see plenty of men on the commuter rail and subway with kindles, BTW.
