It might not matter if it was really only five minutes. The unfortunate reality is that it is all the time required to push back from the gate, taxi to the end of the take off line, and wait in that line until such time as the plane might take off. After that, it's five minutes before you can officially use the device. At the other end of the trip, it's more like ten to fifteen minutes for the plane to make its final descent and landing. All of that time added together can easily equal an hour or more. The point of having an e-ink reader is, in part, so that I don't have to carry a bunch of books around. It's frustrating that I have to bring something to fill that hour when I'm holding a device that sends a signal for less than half an inch and couldn't possibly cause any interference.
