yesterday I had to do some flying between my place & Brussels. This means 4 planes, 4take-offs & 4 landings. As you know, when the seatbelt sign is on, you should not use any/all electronic devices, but bottom line is that you can not use reader for roughly 30 min during your flight.

So, I tried 8 times to read during seatbelt sign on, out of which 6 times was told to shot down this device of mine, 4 times had an argument about a definition of electronic device & that Reader, and an impact of newspaper & Reader on the airline rules.

What do you do in similar situation ?
