I commonly see Kindles, and on airplanes I commonly see at least one Kindle, BUT, SEATAC is on one end of my flights, so most of the people carrying Kindles in one hand are holding a Starbucks in the other hand...
I, too, come from SeaTac, and our CEO travels through it as well on a regular basis.
On an airplane I commonly see:
About 50% of the passengers have laptops.
Not once have I been on a flight with 50% laptops, even if you included all of the devices listed below. I'll start asking around.
About 5% of the passengers have netbooks.
About 5% of the passengers rent a gaming console from the airplane company.
About 0.5% own some kind of ebook reader.
0.0% reading anything on a cellphone-sized device.
Kind of makes one wonder why people aren't working to improve the reading experience on laptops -- it would "just" require improved ebook reader software. Kindle for PC, Kindle for Mac, B&N Desktop aren't "bad" readers -- but they aren't very "good" either.
