That's why I put "ban" inside the "quotes" If I was talking to you face to face I'd probably be making the "quote" fingers gesture (lame, I know)

As far as mobile phone radio onboard aircrafts - this rule is pretty much the same world wide - turn it off.
The problem (or rather the issue) with e-book readers is that not everybody would know that there is a mobile phone inside! I wouldn't put it past the security regulation authors to ban the whole thing outright rather than try to educate people.
