What a coincidence. See this article by Kevin DeYoung, and the comments as well (including mine!)

I suppose I can read the ebook and if I think it is worthwhile I can buy a hard copy to lend to people. Still wondering about the battery life of the phone. How do you go about to save battery life while reading?

I don’t have a Kindle but I have lots of Kindle books which I read using the Kindle application on my mobile phone and on my PC. The Kindle is an excellent gadget with wonderful battery life and it makes reading easy, but it is another gadget to carry. Using the Kindle application on my mobile phone is great because I almost always have my phone with me. And yes, I do still like printed books more, but the Kindle fits lots of books in my pants pocket.

Thanks Andrew. I have no intention of getting rid of my books, or to stop buying books. Like you I much prefer studying from books. I do use a Bible software and find it helpful, but still use paper commentaries.
I was reading a positive comment on the kindle on the French Amazon website this morning. The only drawback for the commentator was the lending side. Apparently, you can lend a book, but only once, and for a limited period of 14 days. Also, you can’t give away a kindle ebook.

I wouldn’t like to say that books are on their way out. partly because my brother owns a 2nd hand book store in Edinburgh. That said, there can be no denying that the ebook is beoming more and more popular. Some of our friends bought us a kindle before our move to France. I must say I like it. It has saved me money on some books, I can refer easily to the french / english dictionary stored on it, it takes up a lot less space and is easily transported and also it is possible to read a sample of a book before purchasing.
On the down side, i also like to have a book in my hands and i prefer to study from books which are before me, flicking quickly back and forward to different parts. This is harder to do with teh Kindle. It also seems to be harder to lend books to friends once I have read them. no doubt there is a way to do this, i just haven’t worked it out yet.
My guess is that in 20 years time, the pastor’s study will have changed. there will still be books but I would say there will be fewer. No doubt the Kindle will have been revamped several times and people will be laughing at my old model and who knows what my computer will be like.

Comment on French christians and Genesis 1-3 by Gethin Jones

The question about their reason for being protestant is a bit worrying.
I’m trying to be optimistic and hoping that some of those who went for the first option – that it’s about the meaning of creation – also believe in the historicity… maybe…? :-/

John Chapman’s “A fresh start” is available – Un Nouveau Départ (I’ve not read it but I hear good things about it).
Various John Piper titles are in French. And some Don Carson – including his notes that take you through the McCheyne reading plan.
Some of the GBU’s Question Suivante might be helpful on particular questions he might have?
The Westminster texts – including the shorter catechism is available in French as well.
