Fr. Paolo Padrini twittered me some iBrievary news. I have been using the multi-language Liturgy of the Hours application iBrievary daily for over a year and it has replaced my 4 volume set of the Liturgy of the Hours. Besides being available for the iPhone/iPod Touch it is now also free and available on the Android and Symbian platforms.
Even cooler for us Apple geeks he has also decided to further develop iBrievary specifically for the iPad which will be the ideal form factor for the Liturgy of the Hours. I had planned to get an iPad anyway as a reading device since it can be used to not only read non-DRM ePub format eBooks, but can read formats from the Kindle also. Since Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and many others are offering content on the iPhone/iPod Touch software this means is can just use the iPad and not need a Kindle, Nook, etc. Having an iPad version of iBrievary makes the decision even easier for me.

Oh why oh why must you give me more reasons to want to buy it. I really can’t afford it…. its so shiny and pretty and nice.. my precious..
I really like the iBreviary for ipod touch, too. Since I always have my ipod, I’ve always got the Mass readings, too, and don’t forget the missal in the car or bring last month’s edition. I just hope people don’t think I’m texting during Mass. I’m not, but I would hate to be a proximate occasion for sin for somebody. AnneG
