That would be so stupid if they replace bibles with science text books, because if it wasn't for God there will be nothing, not even science. The word of God should be spread everywhere in the whole entire world, because this world is his creation.
I wouldn't bother with the expense. I don't read the bibles there. I've read it through several times but never in a hotel room. And I wouldn't normally have time on a busy trip to reread Darwin's _Origin_of_the_Species_ either.
That said, the Gideons place those Bibles in hotel and motel rooms at no charge to the owners. I would imagine that if some other group wanted equal time and was willing to donate the reading material, lots of hostelers would take them up on it.
Very true the religion must be practiced in the home and if one has the sense of inhibition he does not and need not worry about any excesses which he will never do and so he will never be doing any criminal activities.
I like the Kindle idea because you can have both but it is up to the hotel owner ;-)
