And many airlines specifically state to turn of "Kindles (sic)." So using your ebook could get you a Federal offense for failure to complay with flight crew instructions.
I havent flown since before the advent of dedicated e-readers, so i'm curious... are you guys talking about being asked to shut it off for take-off/landing or off for the entire flight?
