I've NEVER seen an electronic reader in the wild besides my own, not once.
In waiting rooms, I sometimes see someone reading a paper book, or more often a magazine that's been lying there since the Nixon administration. But many waiting rooms have TVs now, so people just stare blankly at that.
Sorry, that has nothing at all to do with commuting, but if we didn't derail a thread several times before the second page, it just wouldn't feel right.

Hmm, never seen a tv in a waiting room before! But most have a magazine subscription or two. Or a subscription to the "reading map" (a system where you have a subscription to several magazines, which come all together, and you don't have ownership over. After the week, it'll be collected and send to another address. The further away in the line you are, the cheaper the subscription. It's perfect for waiting rooms!)
