Sonys in the wild! - Page 2

SeaBookGuy · 07-14-2011, 03:46 PM

There's a block downtown where the afternoon express buses to suburbs do a pick up; it's on the way from the library to my own (local) bus stop home. I've seen folks reading ebooks while waiting there. I've sat next to a woman at a counter at lunch, who had her nook propped up against a large glass of water, as a "stand" (there was little chance of the device itself getting soaked).

I believe I even saw someone Kindling-while-walking!

I see the older models once in a while. I have yet to see another 650. But then again, I am a poor ambassador for Sony because I read my iphone on the subway! I will read my Sony on the airplane though.

WOW! I have *never* seen a sony in the wild! I have seen a few kindles in the wild (on a plane). I don't think I've ever seen a nook in the wild, either. But I do get asked sometimes if mine's a nook (I used to just get asked if it was a kindle). I respond, "no, it's better...."

I've never seen another eReader out and about, let alone another Sony.

Here in NZ they are mythical things.......people have heard of them, but dont really believe......

I'm with you, Kiwi. I've never seen anyone using a dedicated e-reader. I've seen some folks using iPads for the Internet, but not reading. I've seen some folks using mobile phones for reading. But still never anyone using a dedicated e-reader.

ereaders are pretty common on the NYC subway. On a rush-hour train, I would guess that about 1 in 20 people has either an ereader or an ipad.
