Putting this in the llounge because it is nowhere near serious or scientific enough to go in News and Commentary
In my little section of the tube this morning there were about 21 people (14 sitting, 7 standing). Before the first major exodus there were:
3 reading books
3 reading on ebook readers (all Sonys, 1x 505 (me) and 2x 300)
2 reading papers
Unusually no one was playing games or watching video.
I'm not sure whether to be encouraged by seeing 3 ebook readers in one place, or discouraged by the lack of people actually reading.
