For as much as the holiday is great for family and rest, its also a good time to get some reading in. Here are a few items that have come in recently which might make for engaging reading and reflecting on a new or old mobile reading device:

• Carnival of the Mobilists No. 244 at Volker on Mobile
• Insider’s Guide to Mobile from Tomi Ahonen
• Presentation and Notes talking about literacy in the digital age from Ben Grey
• The Internet in 2020
• Jarbyco, an SMS service for churches, has several case studies
• And a few books from Amazon: I Live in the Future, and This Is How It Works and Smart Things: Ubiquitous Computing User Experience Design
