No electronics time isn't all that long, is it? I just flew, and I don't remember it being obstructive.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, flying from PDX, I play the "ooooh, mountains" game too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Especially at the end of the flight, I need to be engaged in something from the descent until the people ahead of me start getting off the plane, or I lose my damn mind.

Deserts are so cool from planes, looking at the outcroppings of rock and tracking how the water flows.
I may be a topography/geography nut.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I bring a spare book. It's a little irritating.

I try to have a backup book, or a magazine. Doesn't always happen (read the airline magazine? I fly often enough that the airline mag doesn't change often enough. :)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I usually print out some sudoku pages from the internet and do that during plane waiting times.
sometimes I'll have bought a magazine, but I read magazines so quickly anymore that I'm twiddling my thumbs after!

I don't know about the Kindle, but I can turn the Wireless off in my Nook Color -- would that be ok?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the flight attendants aren't exactly consistent about it. that's why I don't bother. they want all electronic devices OFF - whether they have wireless radios or not.

Yeah, there's generally a time when they say, "If it has an on/off switch, it needs to be OFF."
