I've taken both my Kobo and Kindle on recent flights in Canada with three different airlines and have not been asked to stop reading. Out of consideration for the spirit of the rules, during the actual taken-off, I slip the device into the seat pocket in front of me. (This is more about ensuring excess items that could be loose flying about the cabin in the event of sudden jolt are secured than "radio interference".) Also, during prep for take-off, you're supposed to be paying attention to the safety demonstrations.
I do make a point of switching off the Blackberry radio once the plane starts to pull away from the gate.
It sounds like rules in Canada are a little more rational than some jurisdictions.
