Your Kindle is killing your dating life.

That's assuming you had a dating life to begin with.

According to a brief essay in the New York Times Complaint Box by writer Lisa Lewis, her best pickup line was "I love that book!" to cute guys on the subway. The problem? Since the invention of eReaders she can't tell what book a cute guy is reading--which we can only assume has led to many lonely nights curled up in bed with Mr. Whiskers.

Which is surprising, because I always thought quality beefcake took the subway.
