The moment e-readers were invented, I thought they would be a brilliant solution to one particular problem, viz., Hebrew class. Unless you are exceptionally good at languages, just sitting in an exegesis class means keeping your Hebrew Bible, lexicon, and textbook open in front of you, probably along with a notebook, flash cards, and English Bible. It's a nuisance in the classroom, and a spine-crusher in the backpack. A Kindle could reduce the baggage considerably, but only if the standard Brown-Driver-Briggs lexicon and Hebrew Bible were available. Which strikes me as one of those things that ill happen soon, if it hasn't yet. Keep us updated on the Kindle-ization of theological books.
