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.
