Mormon Life says: The app is free and the database of church doctrine and literature is incredible. It was just more than a year ago that Amazon.com announced that electronic book (e-book) sales had surpassed paperback book sales on its website. It stated that for every 100 paperback books sold, 105 e-books were purchased. Joining the e-book revolution, Deseret Book launched Deseret Bookshelf in June 2011. It's a free e-reader app for Apple and Android mobile devices that not only allows you to read e-books, but also access Deseret Book's library of nearly 1,500 digital titles for purchase.

After 15 years in the Magic Valley Mall — and 40 years serving the area’s LDS population — Crowley’s-The Quad bookstore is closing.

“I call it moving,” store owner Richard Crowley said.

The reason: Deseret Book Co. is coming to town and bringing with it a church distribution center. Crowley will manage the new store.
