Please explain why technology is inherently unholy, those of you who think so. Also, be prepared to answer whether you think the same of devices that do not have the ability to connect to the Internet, such as the “Boox Buki” (or whatever it’s called).
(By the way, your home telephone (assuming you still have one,
and that your service is not “kosher”) can be used for things
of the same nature as your issue with the Internet.)
As has been pointed out, electronic devices will never replace sefarim entirely, because they cannot be used on Shabbos.
Also, yeshivos will probably not allow them, so there’s that as well.
Yes, consult your LOR before you lament the possibility of a
device with d’varim shebik’dusha on it being brought somewhere that it is forbidden to bring sefarim, Mr. Agent.
(Actually, maybe it’s better to occupy our time than his.)
