Why make a scene? Why get huffy? Slip the kindle into the pocket in front of you until the flight attendant goes away.
Of course the devices wont bring down an aircraft. If there was any danger of that they would not be allowed on an aircraft at all. No need for exploding shoes or flammable underwear if you are a terrorist. Simply place a kindle in the overhead compartment without turning it off and hey presto, job done.
Turning off electronic devices before take off is a ritual. It lets us know some pretty important and impressive stuff is about to occur. Nothing to do with safety.
