Between loaner laptops, Windows To Go thumbdrives, phablets, and free business class in-flight wifi they'll be covered. And in August they'll get Intel Card PCs, full business class PCs the size of a credit card.

It's everybody else that'll get shut down.

I haven't travelled internationally in my job in a while. (I have a .gov email) We are not allowed to use USB drives, unless fully encrypted, and then, not in someone else laptop, so none of the above options would work for me. We can't even carry our work laptop on international travel, we are given a loaner, and when we return, it's memory is erased. Same with an iPhone, you carry a loaner and it is erased upon return.

I travel frequently, mostly all in the US. In general, I read what ever book I'm reading while I'm on an airplane. If the ban extends to US travel, I'll just go back to reading paper books. Before e-readers, I'd by a book at the airport gift shop, and they'd buy it back after I'm done. I noticed last week in the airport, they still do that.
