That is when I found out that listening to a book while I run is a lot nicer than music. > > > Andrew Steele ROT-13 encoded wrote: > >> In article <john.doggett-7889C2.17393114082005@News-West.newsfeeds.com>, john.doggett@x-files.gov says... >> >>> How often do you see someone using a PDA bible or Franklin bible gadget in church/small groups?

I never get into the flow of reading from the small screen and clicking down every two seconds after I've read half a paragraph. To read and fully absorb the book I'd go for a good old- >> fashioned collection of paper and ink between card covers. >> >> Andrew I read books on my Palm all the time. I seldom read a book any other way, because I've downloaded thousands of titles and have a huge library of books on my computer. I find that I enjoy reading on the Palm more than I enjoy reading a hardcover or paperback. Maybe it's the shorter length of the lines of text.
