Iberia allows the use of Kindle during takeoff and landing - ComputerHoy


few days ago I commented that Iberia and Vueling longer allowed to use electronic devices during the flight , including takeoff and landing.

This includes the Amazon Kindle eReader and Kindle Fire tablets . Therefore, in a press release Amazon wanted to thank the company that allows passengers to read during the flight .

According to Amazon, this is very good news because it had been in place this new regulation, passengers in 2013 took off from or landed at Spanish airports had had 62 million extra hours to read .

Want to know what they are 2013

These estimates are based on the average time of takeoff and landing is usually 20 minutes , and 187,361,347 registered passenger AENA Spanish airports in 2013.

In addition, owners of a Kindle could have read a classic like “Don Quixote ” more than 2.4 million times or read “Crime and Punishment ” 4 , 4 million times.

This is considering that a normal reader can read at a speed of 250 words per minute , according to the Texas A & M Health Science Center, and “Don Quixote” has around 380,000 words .

In this way, readers can finish that last chapter without the crew ordered them off your eReader .

few weeks ago we discussed about if you were better eBooks or paper books and this new measure adds an advantage to eBooks .
