Nobody has a problem if you use your ears to enjoy an electronic gadget, especially if is is built into the the car. Apparently, using such that is not part of the car is a little more suspect. Using one that is powered by its own batteries is even worse, as the disable batteries you buy for them do not last forever and are not made by the ultra-green processes that care batteries are. Using you eyes is frowned upon, depending. No so much if the image is static, as in an ebook, but if it is moving, as in a movie, it seems to be antithetical to nature, even if the nature is a parking lot with other campers. Man, this is too complicated for me to figure out. I'll leave it to others.
