There likely is. I'm just saying *I* don't do it.

holding a $300 deluxe e-reader on crowded public transport is maybe not quite in the same "asking for it" category as flashing a $20k rolex, but its still a target for a street thief. And unlike most expensive phones, there is no remote alarm, no trace my phone, no take a selfie of the thief option to deter.

It would be a glorious place if there was a wide enough market for e-ink readers to be highly desired by a thief. As it is now, if one is snatched, I would bet it was done by mistake and would be dumped when the thief saw what they snatched. "This thing isn't even in color!"
For that matter, what $300 reader? The Oasis 2 and the Forma are two of the highest end readers and both are below $300.
