When the person looks at me startled and asks what the #### I'm doing I just inform them it is no different than them answering texts, going on FB etc.
They don't like it so much.

You make a point to carry a book with you just to prove the point? Why not just explain to them that what they're doing bothers you? It just seems like a hassle to carry a prop around with you when you go out to prove a point you could easily verbalize.
This discussion reminds me a lot of the thread on giving up your seat on the train or bus to a female. Seems like there are many who are quite passionate about the issue!
