Would it look awkward if I were to read a newspaper or book at a bar or Pub?

I read all the time, doesn't matter where I am. Anytime I have to wait for something and people whip out their phone, I whip out my e-reader and continue reading. That's the nice thing about e-readers, you don't need to bookmark your page, just switch it off and it will open on that page when you switch it on again. And I have a stack of unread e-books waiting. Currently working through Iain M. Banks Culture series.
When I'm reading in a bar, it's never considered weird or awkward, but even if it was, I wouldn't care.
