No, that responsibility is entirely on the test labs, who have a responsibility to test all broadcasting devices for undue radiation of precisely that nature. If they failed to properly test the Sony device...
An ebook reader sitting in my bag, not being used, radiates
far less than many devices which are not required to switched "off". I am not arguing for leaving wireless on, or for using it during takeoff and landing...
