Airline Attendent would not let Kindle go into seat pocket, had to go on floor

[ricky]

I assume that the attendants know more than I do about safety issues when I am a passenger on a commercial heavy airliner.  I have piloted smaller General Aviation aircraft and while I was learning and practicing to fly, and then flying by myself;  I learned that the average person actually knows very little about aircraft and flying.
If a particular attendant is not up to speed on how a Kindle works, then no sweat for me... I'll turn her off and tuck her in safely.  I spent most of my flying time, as a passenger, looking out of the window anyway... the views create incredible awake dreamtime............. Not Available Any Place Else!!!!  I generally read her only while waiting for take-off, or if there is a moonless night outside with no rain... however she always goes with me on any flight, I need her company at our destination.
