Pastor Hack: The Kindle App

I'm all for sharing the wealth. 

So, when I discovered that books I was downloading on my iPhone Kindle app were also showing up on the iPhone I had given to one of my co-pastors at Evergreen, I realized I had stumbled on a cheap way to share books and resources among a small group, like a church staff. 

Amazon's terms of service allow for up to SIX Kindles or iPhone Kindle apps to be registered to a particular account. This means that books bought on that account will show up across those iPhones/Kindles. 

Sweet. Now, for $10 bucks, I can buy a book for our whole staff. And while they can't buy/download books on the Kindle App, Barnes and Noble has just come out with a competing app/service- so if there's something they really want on their phone, it's available. 

Nice. 

And, even fun, as you can send samples of books you think they should read to individual staff member's iPhones. I'm telling you- that one is going to give me HOURS of fun all by itself. :)

My desire for an iphone is growing rapidly. Almost worth it just for that app alone! Thanks for making me covet... even more!
