One-third of e-book readers admit to using gadgets to hide that they're reading erotic novels, article.
In a poll of 1,863 people conducted in Britain this week, 34% admitted to having read erotic novels on the devices.
Another 57% said that they used their e-reader to hide the fact that they were reading children’s books, such as Harry Potter, whilst 26% said they used theirs to disguise their sci-fi books habit.
"Dungeon of Sin vol 8", okay. But Harry Potter?! and science fiction?! Harry Potter is great, and I have always loved SF, and I have never had any reason to be ashamed of it. I think if these people should be ashamed of anything, it should be being ashamed.
OK, I grew up in Denmark, a more laid-back country. Is the UK really so intellectually and emotionally backwards that people in the the train will point and laugh at you and yell: "Hey, he's reading a rocket ship book, what an idiot! Hahaha!" Or what?

Strange, alright! (I think you forgot to attach the link for the article, BTW.)
And...annoyingly, it appears that the notification is not included on this site...again. :-(
Durn.
Thanks, I put in the link now.
(I re-found it by copying a phrase and googling it in qoutation marks. This is highly useful when looking for an article.)

You're welcome and thank you. :-)

Yeah. I could have done that. I just didn't know if you had wanted to post the link; wanted it to be your decision. I'll do that, should that happen, again, rather than bothering you. :-) Google is my friend. :-)
(and, odd: e-mail notification option is available, this time! Go figure! I just happened to see that you had made a comment on here, tonight. :-)
No, thanks for pointing out that I had forgotten the link, clearly it was meant to be there.
