On a week at the beach, I never saw another Kindle besides ours. I saw multiple people with iPads out on the beach. I was quite surprised. I've seen a few Kindles "in the wild" but mostly in the hands of homeschooling / soccer moms that spend a lot of time waiting for kids at various activities. I struggle with purchasing ebooks. I'm ok with reading them on the Kindle, but the idea of spending $10 on an ebook that I can't resell, give away, or loan to anyone except other Kindle users doesn't excite me. I love the idea of not adding to my overflowing bookshelves though. So I mostly only read DRM-free books from free sources. I've found that I get more reading done on the Kindle than I do on other devices. As long as it's the only device I have in my hands, there isn't much else to do except read. If I have any tablet or phone or anything like it, it's too easy to read a couple pages then flip over to email, Twitter, etc. and never get back to the book.
