It wouldn't matter whether its a wireless liseuse or not.
And my stewardess will soon find out if she talked to me a lot
Don't they call them hostesses nowadays?..

But I guess their excuses would be: some E-Reader has wireless and other cool functions, and its just like all the wireless gadgets (even non-wireless mp3 players) that cannot be used on the plane. I don't think wireless would actually crash the plane (they allow people to use in-plane phone and charge high $$$ accordingly), but they can't distinguish one (such as radio jammer or EM pulse device. ) from the other, so they ban all of them.
Asking the steward/stewardess to check/know about which one is Read-only and which one is multiple-functioning E-Reader would be asking too much for them (in their opinion), don't you think?
