They make no mention of offering epub versions for the rest of us. And the Kindle doesn't get these either yet because the Kindle doesn't fully support Hebrew, but the
Jerusalem Post is reporting that
Artscroll/Mesorah, which publishes Orthodox Jewish books is starting to port their stuff to ereaders. Though not the sabbath and holidays prayer books because Orthodox Jews don't use electronic devices on the Sabbath.
What I found particularly odd though was Zlotowitz's assertion toward the end that he thinks ereaders are a passing fad. If he feels that way, then why the heck is he digitizing his entire library? Not to mention that his analogy has a tremendous flaw. He compares ebook readers to 8 track cassettes and says that's why he think the ereader may disappear. But the concept of listening to music with an electronic device didn't disappear. It just morphed to cassette tapes, then CDs and now to MP3s. I don't get why he'd feel this is even a remotely valid argument.
BTW, if you get an error when you lad the Jerusalem Post web site, just hit reload. I've had problems with them in the past. Their servers are often overwhelmed.
