Hotel Substitutes Kindles For Printed Bibles

If you stay at the Hotel Indigo in Newcastle, England, you can still find the Bible in your room but it won't be the only reading material available to you. Starting this month, each room will have a Kindle with wifi. The Kindles will come loaded with Scripture but also the option of downloading other books from Amazon.

CNN reports:

The hotel was chosen for the pilot program because of its rich literary and publishing history: It's a few blocks from the Philosophical Society of Newcastle, one of the largest independent libraries in the UK. If it's a success, InterContinental could expand it to other locations, and other hotels might follow its lead. 

...If guests purchase other books to read, the cost will be charged directly to their rooms. However, they can't take the books with them, and the Kindles are wiped clean between visitors.
