The e-Bible: Don't you dare thump it

ebible.jpg

We suspect this electronic Bible, resembling a portable media player, was conceived by a Catholic school student who kept getting his iPod confiscated by the nuns. Would they be so quick to take away your toy if they knew it had the Holy Gospels onboard, I wonder? Xell's B10 Bible Master also plays MP3s, has an FM tuner, and lets you view other eBooks through the SD card slot. It's not a slick as Sony's Reader, but last I checked, Sony wasn't selling the Good Book at Connect.com. The B10 is just in Korea now, my children, but maybe a high-tech parish Stateside will pick up on the idea. We hope so, if only so we have a better chance of seeing blessed MP3 players like the Saint B.

I hope this does come out in the States, soon. My Dad would love it. Or, maybe Sony could start selling the Bible in digital format. That'd be just as good.
