I think the majority opinion on this is that the device of choice for reading is a book printed on paper. I much prefer my ereader myself, but it looks like most people around me (including my wife, who reads a lot) prefer old-fashioned printed books.
I regularly see people in public transportation (often crowded) with an ereader, but other than that, I'm not sure the ereader is still very much in the minority (it's also hard to determine when people staring at their phones are reading books, but I'm ready to dismiss the possibility in most cases).
