I think what most people would really like to see is a little logical consistency.

If attention is the issue, everything should be put away -- whether it's a Kindle or a magazine. If it's okay to be reading, but not, say, listening to headphones, then that should be the rule -- it shouldn't matter what you are reading.

If projectiles are the issue, then everything over a certain weight should be put away -- magazines ok, but hardcover books are not. If hardcover books are ok, why aren't ereaders, which weigh significantly less?

If radio emissions are the issue, then why aren't they actually checking devices to make sure they're off?

The current rules just don't make much sense, and people are less likely to respect rules they regard as illogical or silly.
