Orthodox Books on Kindle

August 4th, 2009 by Fr. Vasile

kindleI was very skeptic when Amazon has issued their “paper like” e-reader device.  Beside the technology shortcomings I was sure this would be used to promote airport bestsellers and other reading material ready for the intelectual garbage bin. However, I have to admit that the success of the device, which is nice by the way, has attracted some serious publishers to include their books in the new format. Doing a regular amazon search today I realized that there is a growing number of Orthodox books readily available to be read on the kindle.

I know that many of you don’t have it yet, I for one don’t, but if you do or are thinking about buying one your selection is growing,

Check here to see for yourself

  • As a convert who’s been standing for a year next to the choir director and the reader while they tried to figure out a pre-feast vigil, etc… I see Kindles and the like as a possible answer to having to have a dozen books scattered about and confusion trying to assemble the service.

    No more, “wait stop, we’re supposed to be singing in the 2nd tone” or “why am I skipping all the paragraphs with a mark next to them, is that a mark or just a stain?”

  • :) Agree. On a serious note however I know Fr. Seraphim Dedes from e-matins (http://sgpm.goarch.org/ematins/main.htm ) is working on a kind of computerized solution for chanting. It will come, I am sure and we will all go: where was this when ai needed it 20 yrs ago…:)

  • My husband has just published a new Orthodox fiction novel called Sojourning With Angels: The Rise of Zazirel. It is available on amazon.com now and will be on kindle within a few weeks. Go to http://www.rleoolson.com to see more including the book trailer and the first review… We need more orthodox fiction for adults!
