Nope. A Kindle
is a cellphone. It has a telephone number. People may not commonly regard it as one, but nonetheless, it is one. So is the 3G iPad, and the nook, and the 3G Dongle which I plug into my netbook. They are all cellphones.

To get back to the original topic (instead of making fun of people who don't know the difference between off/sleep),

I'm not making fun of anyone. It is others in this thread who are making the claim that people don't know how to turn their Kindles off. I don't hold people in such low esteem.

the reason the FAA has a general ban on these types of devices is because the potential interference has NOT been tested/certified.

Yes - that's precisely the point. Given that they are not tested, the only safe course of action is to regard them as potentially hazardous and turn them off.
