Toronto the Good - Here is an article describing how Toronto got its nickname, Toronto the Good. It all began with a Christian and a spiritual revival.
Kindle on Sale - Woot is somehow offering a one-day sale on the Kindle with the price all the way down at $149. This is by the far the cheapest I’ve ever seen the Kindle. They say they’re in some kind of gray area with the pricing, but seeing as Woot is owned by Amazon, I don’t think there’s any real concern.
Ten Questions For Spiritual Conversation - I’m sure I’ve linked to this before, but it’s worth looking over every now and again. It’s Don Whitney’s list of questions to ask to begin a spiritual conversation.
Are You There, God? - Slate covers Christian fiction for young adults. “The new popular source of girl power isn’t a hyper-sexed Miley Cyrus video or Candace Bushnell’s recently published Sex and the City prequel about Carrie Bradshaw’s teen years. If you look past the Bible-study scenes, young-adult novels from evangelical authors and publishers are offering their young Christian readers a surprisingly empowering guide to adolescence. ”
Ligonier Video - Almost all the rest of the videos from the Ligonier conference have been posted. This now includes the talks by Al Mohler and Derek Thomas that I’ve been talking about the past couple of weeks. Make sure you click on the word SAT to switch to the Saturday talks.

No Canada Day feature? :-)
Bummer. The Kindles sold out about 3 hours ago.
I’m just a wretched converted sinner from Calgary but I can guarantee you this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Toronto and Good in the same sentence!?? Ah well…Happy Canada Day anyways
Hey, thanks for the mention!
Rod, aren’t you glad you could actually learn something good about Toronto? I guess I’ll have to write about Calgary next… ;)
Happy Canada Day!
Sounds only fair—If nothing else we have the Goodest Outdoor Show on Earth starting up soon—Only a few PETA protestors at that though
So, why would one buy a Kindle, even at an awesomely reduced price if one owns an iPad with the Kindle app? I understand there are a few features (longer battery life, reading the text audibly, etc) that are not part of the app, but $149 for a few features? Is it worth it when you have an iPad (or could save for one) and your primary reader on the iPad is the Kindle app? And of course, the iPad as you know is so much more than a reader. (Big misconception I hear often that the iPad is just a reader).Libronix Library, (aka Logos) was one of the major reasons I purchased the iPad. I am not sure why it has not been mentioned more. Your video podcast of the Kindle verses the iPad was very helpful; however, I was a little curious why you compared the readers and did not demonstrate the full capability of the iPad. I was surprised that Libronix was not mentioned? Currently, I have Logos 4 Scholar’s Library: Platinum LE. (You need Logos 4 to run the app on your iPad or iPhone) The app needs a Wi-Fi connection to see your full library (that’s if you didn’t get the 3G iPad). However, the app can easily make books available when you don’t have a connection. What is also nice about Libronix is that you can continue to build your digital library as you can with Kindle and iBooks. So all that to say that over the years many Libronix users have continued to build a solid library that can relate to other books in your Library. Kindle and iBooks are way behind on that feature. So, at this point, I have access to almost 2,000 books, journals, commentaries, etc. I thought it worth wild to mention and if you have not check out Libronix it is worth your time to check it out. http://www.logos.com/Logos doesn’t pay me; I am just a satisfied customer.Chris BoucherProfessorCapital Bible Seminary, www.bible.edu

I don’t own a Kindle or an iPad, so I don’t know much, but I do know that neither Kindle for iPad or PC will serve magazine or blog subscriptions. You must have an actual Kindle for those.
