Since the Nexus 7 fits in one hand, it is still more like using a phone or an e-reader. I usually read something from my Instapaper queue when traveling in Berlin subway or bus, and haven't ever seen anybody taking any attention to the device I use. Even at rush hours it is fine to hold the device with one hand, and hold on to the vehicle with another. Now, a bigger tablet like iPad or Nexus 10 could be another story.
