I don't always care to advertise my reading habits to others. Certainly on a recent flight I shared with my mother, where one of the books was a little on the racy side, I would not have wished to field comments from her on my reading choices :) I actually like the privacy aspect of ebook reading.

I can think of a lot of commuters in my city who would probably have free ebook readers for school & university students high on their wish-list, just so they can avoid the 50kilo back-packs littering the buses/trains. I don't know where this man has his office, but I suspect it's too high up, perhaps he ought to get down to ground level for a while. Does he really think the average commuter could care less what he reads? Get real! The “snobbishment” of carrying books on a train????
