I've had all sorts ask me about my Reader. Even the people who don't read at all seem to be curious and fascinated about it. A guy I work with who has likely never willingly picked up a book in his life told me, and I quote, "That is some cool s**t". I found that to be pretty ironic.
I also know a lot of people who work at the airport as part of the crew that goes onto the planes after they land, restocking and cleaning. These are the folk who find all the many things the passengers leave behind. Oddly enough, since I've had my Reader, I get given tons of paper books that they find on board. I'm not sure why they have only started doing this since I've got my ebook, because they've always known I was a reader. Was a common joke for people to call me "Readie McReader" because I always had a book with me -- but they never gave me books back THEN. Only now that I carry a fake book around lol. Go figure.
Oh and if anyone is curious, they haven't yet found an ebook reader of any sort. I have a standing offer to buy any they find that are left unclaimed ;-)
