iPad - New Way to Read Books

In an ever changing world, there comes a new way to read any digital published media: Apple's iPad. It can open any eBook (digital copies of entire books), surf the web, play music, play videos, play games and use any iPhone/iTouch app. Think of it as a book size iPhone or iTouch.

This product is interesting since there can have various uses - including school. What about church? Well, you can definitely have the Bible on this iPad. The Bible is available in the eBook format and is available for download at eBooks.com for $9.99 depending on the version you are looking for.

A popular app called Bible by YouVersion, is a great app for Bible reading. You have access to many translations in any language. I currently have it installed on my iPhone and it comes in handy.

Will these devices replace the "paper" books we read and hold including the Bible? Is it ok to walk in a church with a device as your Bible instead of the traditional black, leather Bible?

The iPad is Apple's product entry in the eReader market. It is yet to be released to the public. However, there are other products already on the market such as Amazon's Kindle.
