Kindle Passing the Subway Test

The Silicon Alley Insider wrote an article yesterday about the Amazon Kindle starting to pass “the subway test.” The subway test is simply that more Kindles have been seen “in the wild” on subways, commuter trains, and the like.

As a Kindle owner, I’d have to agree. I’ve seen at least a few people on my commuter train with Kindles, including one yesterday evening who discussed her Kindle with me. She’s had it for six weeks and enjoys using it for travel and for reading books that she doesn’t need to pass on to another reader. (I share that sentiment in that I have a hard time reading James Patterson novels on the Kindle because I so often share them with my mother and my mother-in-law.)

Any other commuters seeing Kindles popping up more frequently in fellow commuter’s hands?
