Do You Use An Ereader In Church?

I have been contemplating buying an ereader for awhile and when my local library started having some kindle books to check out I decided to take the plunge.

Making it even easier was Amazon announcing in September that this past week they would be releasing a new combination Kindle color tablet and ereader. So a poor man's ipad in addtion to being a Kindle ereader.

Got mine today and had already purchased kindle versions of the KJV, NKJV, and NIV for it. I am going to try to use it at church Sunday and see just how easy or awkward it is vs a printed Bible.

I will never give up books completely because i enjoy the tactile feel of them but I am intrigued by the idea of being able to store hundreds of books on this little ereader.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I have an app on my iPhone with the entire Bible on it. I no longer carry a Bible with me to church, because I have it right on my smartphone. That's as far as I get with an e-reader.

I do not and will not unless it eventually becomes impossible to do otherwise. Such things are to easily hacked and altered. I would probably print my own copy of the Bible for personal use. Then I would always be able to have a copy with me. But I veiw that as an extreme position for the moment.

Hacked and altered? Sure - but ... why?

Why not? People will do cruel and evil things just because they are there to do. This would not be any different. I know that I might seem to be a bit far fetched, but I have found a small bit of paranoia to be most helpful.

Nope! At this point, I refuse to give in to the trend .

I like the original authenticity of my NKJV Mossy Oak camo Bible just fine...

I think that is a sad way to view things. I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt as much as possible. Plus, hackers probably have a lot better things to do.
