Sure.
I read my TPB/HC's on the train to and from work...that 1 1/2 hr commute back and forth gives me PLENTY of time!

Since I opened my own shop, I try to read in public as much as possible. I've seen people on the train (subway, here in Boston) reading comics (trades) lots of times -- Y, Strangers in Paradise, et cetera.
I don't know that I've ever seen people reading floppies in public. Hmm.
Once, actually, at a bar, when I went with some friends after a comic shop visit. But since they were mine and my friend's, it doesn't count.
I have heard tale that some of my customers (Hub Comics, Union Square, Somerville, Mass!) take their books to the coffee house across the street and read them there, though.

Trades, yes. Single issues, no, unless they're reader copies or modern age.

wassamatta? Prejudiced against the "Shitcan Pedigree"?
I am hardly ever in public... if I was, I would probably have a trade or three with me...

I don't in the general public due to wanting to keep my books nice, and that I prefer to have them on a flat surface to read. I would read trades in public if I have them with me. I did read books at a friends comic shop, and currently at work.
