I was once davening at Charles De Gaul airport because there was a stop in France on the way to EY. A woman on our flight asked to borrow my siddur when I finished because she was unaccustomed to davening from her husband's small device and wanted a real book. Another woman watched from a distance, looking unhappy. I thought that she was Arabic and didn't like what we were doing. Later, on the plane, she asked the stewardess to seat her next to me and was very insistent. It turned out that she was Jewish, in the process of becoming frum, and wanted to sit next to a frum woman. My point being that the sharing of the siddur got her attention. <br />I do think that it is advantageous to have seforim on e-readers for traveling. I don't have one but I would imagine that older adults who need their reading material lit up and enlarged would benefit from e-readers as well as those who downsize to smaller living quarters that can't house many books. rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750230430610565818noreply@blogger.com
