I haven't flown with any of my ereaders yet (I used to fly once or twice a month, but I've flown very little since I changed jobs a couple of years ago). But when I did fly, I would turn off the palmpilot I would play Zork on during takeoff or landing. I don't know how much RF interference such small devices can generate, but I don't need to be contributing any static to the pilots who are trying to listen to tower instructions around crowded airports. I'd generally have a magazine with me for such occasions, and I think I'd stay with that plan if I were to fly again now with a reader. The kind of magazines I get (e.g. jewelry design, MAKE, etc.) generally have content that I want in print form for image quality reasons anyway, though I expect this will change eventually.
