Since the reader is no more "on" when the screen is displaying text than when it is not, I've stopped bothering to turn it off. I've flown probably a dozen times this year, maybe more, and not been asked to turn it off. Sometimes I'm already reading a magazine or something so I read that until after takeoff, but if I'm using the reader when they make the electronics announcement I don't generally bother to turn it off.
I have a friend who doesn't even bother to turn off her cell phone, she's even sent and received text messages during landing. She said a pilot told her it doesn't do any harm.
