TBH ebooks in the Jewish religious world have not really caught on a lot from what I have seen.
Not because of Shabbos issues -- just because we are mostly behind the eight ball when it comes to technology. "They" (fringe nuts) have already tried banning the internet, and compromising on mandatory filtering... most amusing. |
This reminded me about automatic elevators and I went off for some googling. Man, electricity and shabbat is one complicated topic!
