The other big issue I have w/ planes is you're not allowed to use electronic devices anyway for the first 20-40 minutes of being on the plane after pushing back on the gate until you get to whatever altitude it is where you're allowed to turn it back on and for the last 30 min of the flight once you start your descent to land.
So if you're only on a 2-3 hour flight you're still twiddling your thumbs for a majority of the flight vs. just having a regular paperback or whatever that you can just open and not worry about. For most Americans (and Europeans for that matter) this is probably the duration of the vast majority of flights you'll likely be on.
Too many games to fit in signature....
