And I'll be happy not to have some grumpy ... FA continually harrassing me to verify my headphones are off and no music is playing. I've had 2 recently quite literally "force" me to take them off to prove they werent on.
I think the paper book industry is already hurting, and the frequent flying would-be kindle readers probably won't make that much more of a dent. Paper books are already doomed!!!!

That said, I read from paper books because I can't usually find the stuff I read in electronic format, or the library I check stuff out of only has paper books.
