I've seen both Kindles and Sony readers in airports and on planes. I haven't traveled since the iPad came out, so can't report on that. When I first got my Sony reader (August 2008) airline attendants didn't know what it was and so didn't make me turn it off for take-off and landing. Now they do know what the ereaders are, and insist that they must be turned off. That's been true for almost a year. JulietS On 5/4/2010 7:20 AM, Michael S. Hart wrote:
Thanks. . . .
I'm wondering why we don't see them more often. . . ?

I agree that it was. . .however, I still have yet to see an iPad in the wild, and I've certainly seen iPhones, iPods, and clones.
However, I've never seen ANY eReader in the wild, even airports, big cities, etc.
I've seen one kindle, owned by a woman who was attending an author talk at the local (Lansing MI) library. And I saw at least two iPads this weekend, at a science fiction convention (Penguicon).
