With the trend of ebooks now increasing compared to physical hardbacks and paperbacks I am just wondering how many people on here read books on electronic devices such as Apple iBooks, Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook etc.

How much would you pay for sikhi related books assuming that any proceeds from the books will go back into making more similar products and not for personal benefits.

Please complete the poll.

Apple iBooks and Kindle is the best way. I wouldn't mind reading on iBooks and my Kindle. As when I travel I just read news from the News apps on the AppStore, and it's nothing to progress your lives. But I like reading something new and interesting. So I would really love anything Sikhi on the iBooks section and Kindle. With the Apple iBooks, if i'm not wrong, there's no Sikhi books on there. :(

So the iBooks should be a priority. :)

what's the difference between the newest (black and white) kindle vs the newest sony ebook reader? i've tried the older gen models of both and felt that the sony dominated. but now i'm not too happy with the newest sony's pdf handling capability. and a lot of sikhi ebooks are in pdf format...

Personally I use the iPad/ iPod for reading Gurmat ebooks. I do prefer the actual paper feel and texture but when I 'm away from home it is not always possible to carry books around. Generally speaking I'm one of those who are attracted by freebies such as ebooks and Apps. I do like to make a donation to the producer after installing the Apps or books. If you are embarking on a project I feel that if you were to make a freebie that would attract more attention and subsequent donations , just an opinion.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
