Dear Lifehacker, Do I have to turn off my ereader during take-off and landing? I have a Sony Reader -- it uses virtually no power at all. The "off" switch simply disables the touch screen so you don't accidentally flip through pages whilst carrying it around. Every time I am using it on a flight, I am asked by the cabin crew to turn it off for take-off. When I try to explain to them that it doesn't turn off, I end up being dubbed "that person" on the flight and receive snobby service for the remainder of the flight. Can I do anything about this? Thanks, Seat 41A
