Do you read, study, or preach from a tablet?
I've read from a tablet since the days of the Pocket PC, but I've never preached from one. For a while, the PPC was what I used the most at home, but then I got a good Bible with quality paper and print (Cambridge Concord wide margin, etc.) and I went back to Bibles in print. I've recently been using Pocket Bible, Bible Reader, and Logos on my phone and tablet. Do you use a tablet for your primary Bible? What is your favorite Bible app?

I use a Samsung Tablet but I ALWAYS carry my Bible as well. I know where things are in it and if I need to find a scripture I can usually find it faster in the Bible than in a program.
Haven't found an Android Bible app I like.

No, I preach from my heart. Notes are the sign of a bad memory or a lack of conviction of what one is saying.

Re: Do you read, study, or preach from a tablet?
I use my Kindle Fire HDX as my main bible. I use youverse so have access to many different versions of the bible. My church also posts each Sunday's sermon notes on Youverse Live so I can also read the notes and even save them from my tablet and Youverse.

Re: Do you read, study, or preach from a tablet?
I preach from my iPad with notes I use that are projected on the screen for all to see. Everyone sees my notes and watches me flip through the pages since it is transmitted via bluetooth to the projector straight from my tablet. The notes are only because I want people to see the notes on the screen. I actually don't need them.
I always do bible expositional preaching, though. Every sermon has dozens of scriptures. I guess I'm more of a TREACHER. Just how I do it.
And apple devices with the CONFERENCE PAD app that I use also have the notes all transmitted to their devices to keep and store, and also have me controlling their device while I preach. Very cool app!

You can also upload your notes to Youverse "Live" and if your church has wifi for folks they can looks at the notes online and even save them on Youverse.

Moses preached from a tablet. Do you see what that got him?
