Do you prefer/use a physical or electronic Bible?

[juliajulie]

I prefer physical Bible. I can make marks and underline what i need. Also nothing disturb me when I read it (like all sorts of notifications and messages)
But both Bibles are Holy. So just read it with your soul

I use a physical Bible most often, and there is just something about a preacher getting up with a physical Bible and preaching the Word from it.
Electronic Bibles come in handy when traveling and also looking up quick verses and things.
Although I use my physical one more I do not believe there is anything wrong with either!

When just reading, i prefer physical. If im looking for something specific though, i prefer electronic. I can remember verses themselves great but I don't remember the verse names very well. Its much easier to search.

a physical bible..

I have physical Bibles I use at home. I am old enough to enjoy underlining and the feel of paper, and knowing just exactly where it is on the page that I found that great verse. I also use the blank pages in the back of my Bibles to jot down verses that stand out to me, for future reference.

But my physical Bible is big and heavy. Plus, I like to use my ESV, but sometimes contrast it with other versions. I always like to read a verse in the original language, and sometimes in German or French. I remember at one time actually lugging 3 Bibles to church with me, a few years back.

So it is really nice to have my Kindle and IPad and Biblegateway, so I can check various versions. I like it better when you could do a side by side comparison, not happy with the new format. Plus, with open wifi these days, you really don't need to use up expensive data. My Ipad and/or Kindle fit wonderfully in my purse.

I guess the most important thing is to keep reading the Bible, in whatever format works for you!

Ideally, I'd prefer the physical Bible. I sleep with it and it would also make for a great Bible to pass down to my children someday where they can see notes I've made, or verses I've underlined. However, I find myself using the Bible in my iOS devices more, even if I do prefer the physical one.

I don't like to use PC machines but these are faster to find out those quotes I don't have memorized by numbers.

Paperback gave me the chance to study them deeply, underlying or using markers but, online and to spare time, "electronics" are better for me.

I have a chronological bible so it is a bit difficult for me to read, since Gensis is all over the place and so forth, plus mind is warren and teared. (Quote/Spell Check?) But on the other hand I do use the Bible I have when I am home and have the focus to what God is trying to teach me at the particular time. But if I don't have that I use my cellphone and have the bible gateway app on it, and I have find that useful to use as I either eating lunch/dinner at work or just wondering around in the st ore where it is too much for me (Too many people or overwhelm where I need to get out and sit for a few minutes.)
