I very rarely have anyone approach me when I'm reading a paper book, but I very rarely don't get approached when I'm reading my Nook. I've had curious people ask to see how it worked, other e-reader owners want to bond with me over how great e-readers are, and (mostly) people who are violently opposed to the whole concept of e-readers want to share that with me.
But wow, people try to read what you're writing over your shoulder? How rude! Books were created for public consumption, but something being written longhand is being written for a specific audience. Unless the writer actually hands that paper to them, it's none of their freaking business what it says.
