...them until Amazon launched its Kindle a little over a year ago. The Kindle wasn't cooler than any of the other e?readers out there - the first-generation version doesn't even have a touchscreen - but it offered one advantage key to saving publishing: every device can connect to a high-speed data network, virtually anywhere, and download books and periodicals easily and cheaply. I've grabbed books on demand from my bed, bath and beyond, and that more than compensates for the gadget's awkward interface...
...Ballard to bust the Dollhouse, sometimes we're rooting for Echo's handlers and protectors in the organization that pimps her out. (Harry Lennix is sympathetic as her conflicted bodyguard, and Fran Kranz amusingly skeevy as the in-house tech geek.)

Another pastor travels 200 miles (about 320 km) every weekend to serve five churches. A botched three-pastor attempt to connect three already yoked churches (including Grue) with four more resulted in, among other things, shut-ins being overlooked and not receiving Communion for years...
