So when are paper books and magazines going to be banned during critical phases of flight? I was banned from using my Kindle on a recent flight, during the descent/approach. The same reading material printed on paper would surely have been allowed.
Note that I'm not the sort of pax to disobey any order from CC - I fully respect the industry - but this is a crazy situation.
Edit: to clarify - "banned" = I asked if I could continue reading, and was politely informed no.
