Oscar - I read too, but I read novels on my PDA via ereader.com ... Unfortunately, that means I cannot operate my PDA during take-off and landing, since all electronic devices have to be turned off. Ugh! Olivia - (blush blush) Thanks!

No kidding! I'd do the same!

Might have something to do with the steep connection charges in place. Agree re the need for wifi on a plane, for me it would break up long Trans Atlantic flights.
