Part 2:
To address the topic of this thread, most people I know are not readers. They are not at all interested in my device beyond the initial question of "What else can it do?" Since it isn't an annoying "chirp" type walkie-talkie, they are no longer interested.
In public spaces, I have noticed that women do not even glance at it, but men will glance, glance again, stare hard and try to figure it out, and stare some more. I'll shoot a friendly smile, and they will either speak up or look away embarrassed.
My retina doc was fascinated by my EBW1150 for the whole year and finally bought his wife a Kindle. I'm pretty sure she doesn't usually get to read it because he has it.
Checking into the hosp on Tues for surgery, the admissions clerk put away a raggedy library book when we walked into the cubicle. It was a fantasy book, I forget the title. I smiled, whipped out my 505, and demonstrated the fun facts. I left her with this website address, and I would not be surprised if she is not already lurking and learning, because she was very interested.
My best friend and cubicle-mate is an even more voracious reader than I. When I got my 505 for Xmas, I gave her my EBW1150. She's very happy!
