Imagine

Imagine reading my books on your iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Kobo, Nook or smartphone. Because you don't just have to imagine it ~ you can do it. All our books are now available in ePub, Kindle and PDF here.

Apps are available for iPads, iPhones and smartphones to read all these formats.

BTW, Amazon has just dropped the price of its Kindle to $189 ~ and that includes FREE 3G. More info ...

Books in 60 Seconds ~ Even in Bright Sunlight!

Amazon has been advertising for a while about how, with the Kindle reader, you can download books in 60 seconds (over their free 3G wireless network). It also has a long battery life (up to one week on a single charge). It also now reads PDFs (that's a new feature, I think). And the Kindle books are also accessible on the Kindle apps for iPad, iPhone and other smartphones.

But here is where they stand out from iPad, and what they highlight in the video below: They are easy to read ~ even in bright sun light!


You can find out more about it here (they've just cut the price to $189).
 

BTW, did I tell you that all my books are now available in Kindle? Yeah, and if you have a Kindle reader (or a Kindle app for your iPhone or iPad), you can be reading them in 60 seconds.

Learning Hebrew ~ Theological Lexicon of the Old Testament

Theological Lexicon of the Old Testament
by Jenni, Westermann and Biddle
(Preview using Amazon's "Look Inside" feature)

Just got this in the mail today. Looks good ~ 330 in-depth articles on Hebrew roots, plus their derivatives, so it covers thousands of  Hebrew words found in the Old Testament. It is helpful to know some Hebrew, but not essential because this lexicon is keyed to Strong's numbers. I have found the companion New Testament lexicon to be very helpful, so I look forward to using this one. The price is very good, too ~ this 3-volume set is available at Amazon for just $39.95.
