I'm with Duke... I'd rather bring my own reader, and/or a portable DVD player of my own, and have my choice of what I want to read or see, as opposed to the choices the airline is likely to give you ("Let's see: I can watch Rush Hour 2, The Wedding Planner, or Corky Milano... or read the latest Danielle Steele or Reader's Digest airline edition... hmm...").

On earbubs, I've been using a set of Shure E2c sound isolating earbuds for the past year. They are not active noise-cancellers, but the earbuds are foam pieces that fit into your ear and block outside noise very effectively. They have superior sound quality, work great during my commute, and I can hear my music clearly when on my motorcycle. About $100, I'd recommend them to anyone.
