From an article on reading habits on the subway:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/06/ny...06reading.html

"These days, among the tattered covers may be the occasional Kindle, but since most trains are still devoid of Internet access and cellphone reception, the subway ride remains a rare low-tech interlude in a city of inveterate multitasking workaholics."

This is one area where iPhone apps and netbooks lose the advantage to eReaders (of course there are only Kindles in NY apparently).

And - this article is a wonderful rebuttal to those critics loudly declaiming "People don't really read anymore do they?"
