Hear hear, Bob! I agree entirely.
Whether you agree or disagree with the rules and regulations, and whether you think your device makes a difference or not, I don't see why people can't just do what they're asked for a few stinkin' minutes.
Your post made me think of all the times I've gone to the grocery store to find people parked in the fire lane in front of the store because, "I just had to run in for a minute". Minute or no minute, that's what parking spaces are for!
Anyway, the two times I've flown in the past couple of months with the reader, I just peruse the SkyMall catalog or the newspaper for the 10 or 15 minutes during takeoff/landing...no biggie
