That's not entirely true. When I look at the information available from Southwest Airlines on their reading material in the plane (and confirmed by the flight attendants), there are some devices that are allowed to be left on, such as noise-canceling head phones. They also don't/can't make sure that everyone's blue tooth headsets are turned off, though I think that poses more of a threat than a Reader ever could because of the radio in the device.
I even asked a flight attendant who basically told me that she's never stopped anyone from using an electronic reader or a booklight during takeoff.
