Dude that is an excessively punctilious way of looking at things, in my opinion. You and I both know a wifi only Kindle on airplane mode is not really the target of the rule and couldn't possibly interfere with the functioning of an airplane in any way. I don't believe I'm special at all, but on the other hand I think for myself and apply my own knowledge, ethics, and morality to situations. Just as you do, HarryT, with stripping DRM from your books, which is expressly forbidden. So I guess you, too, feel that the rules don't apply to you, eh? So let's just pump the brakes on the sanctimonious, hypocritical handwringing, shall we?
If I really thought there was even a hint of danger or hassle for anyone, I wouldn't do it. I'm really a rather mild mannered guy, believe it or not. And incidentally, am no bother at all to flight attendants.
