Bet it'd be expensive and you'll only be able to read a few lines at a time on your forearm!

If the cell-phone portion is turned off then these types of devices are ok to use on an airplane and likely in a hospital. PDA's with cellphones typically have an airline mode that turns off the cell and the kindle has a separate switch. Metal detectors will not harm these devices.
