What will you do when the hotel bible goes all kindle? .....

Battle for tablet supremacy

Starting this month, however, the InterContinental Hotels Group is modernizing that mission at one of its hotels, replacing the paper tomes with electronic versions of the Bible loaded on Kindle e-readers.

"Anything to put the Bible in people's hands is a good thing," Gideons spokesman Ken Stephens said. "It is a fascinating idea, and I'm sure somehow, some way, its time will come for us. But right now just the paper version is the best for what we do."

What will you do when the hotel bible goes all kindle?

The article says "all 148 rooms at the Hotel Indigo will contain a Kindle e-reader pre-loaded with a copy of the Bible".

I imagine the sticker would be even harder to remove from the back of a Kindle than from the inside cover of a Bible. It would be more noticeable too. Bring on the Kindles, I say.

Im reading a little about Gideon in the bible now ...

Its all too bizarre ... I dont understand it.

I always thought that the Gideons were a big old bible family in the US who just distributed these books.

I have terrorized my hometown for years. Every time I stop through I vandalize something. I've taken the heads off of the largest (religious) statues, I've driven around by night filling my trunk with those smaller Mary statues you see adorning peoples' lawns and deposited them into the river, I've spray-painted more messages than I can remember.

I feel about the same (the "rabbit's foot"). But for me, vandalism is more about my fun than how my viewers feel about it. Their reaction is at best more gratifying (getting it in the paper) and at worst irrelevant-- which is still pretty gratifying. Most the fun lies in the fact that, oh, hey. you're doing a night operation! You're sneaking around, possibly dressed like a ninja (depending on whether or not the plan requires you to blend into the populace), you've got this whole intricate plan set up with contingencies and escape routes and... so good.

In short I don't think it's something to be disappointed in. No one's going out crucifying priests. It's not the Reign of Terror. For me, it's impish. (But I'd be lying if I said there wasn't some feeling of vindication in it).
