My personal take on the matter is, since it is not actually possible to turn off a Kindle, it makes no difference whether I read it or not.
They are welcome to ban Kindles and I will totally obey the rules, but why punish me for a non-existent rule? i.e. the rule is kindles should be off, and I comply with that as much is physically possible, which is to say not at all, and the fact that I am reading on it should not be considered a violation of that rule.
