The King James Bible for Kindle

What’s new in the 2008 King James edition? Maybe not much in terms of real content change, but the delivery system has sure changed. You can now get it over the cell phone network! Or how about the current issue of The Wall Street Journal for 75 cents… delivered wirelessly! Gutenberg would indeed be proud. So how has this come about?

Enter the Kindle: Amazon’s New Wireless Reading Device

There have been many e-book solutions proposed over the years, but IMO this is the first one with merit. In addition to a crystal clear reader that wirelessly downloads books for a fraction of their printed cost, you also get lifetime free internet access using the Sprint network. OK, it’s not a killer app web browser, but it’s FREE!

I may not be able to give up “real” books quite yet, but this sure beats toting War and Peace in my carry-on for that that 13 hour airplane flight!
