Do you bring a Bible or a tablet to church?

I guarantee you I can turn between passages faster digitally than you can on paper.

 

Same here I bring my old dog eared KJV as I've been doing for many years... I never have to charge mine... Brother Glen

 

I use my Samsung Galaxy note, Tablet, not the phone. I operate the sound so I keep a bible in the unit, just in case I forget my bible. I use Olive Tree and I have several versions and I have a couple of French ones, as my wife always uses French, and she some times whispers "But my bible says so and so." I can switch quickly between versions to check.
There was an annoying period when it ran a program randomly which said "I can't find an internet connection" even though the sound was muted. It got over that after an update.

 

But I can't fit a tablet in my pocket, which was the reason I occasionally just go with my phone. (An old S5, btw.)

Personally, I don’t see that I need a device to bridge the gap between smartphone and laptop. But that's just me.

 

We agree. I bring my Samsung Gal. S8+ and find it perfectly suited for reading the Bible. It has 14 versions of the Bible, along with commentaries, concordances, topical guides, maps, historical information (like the Works of Josephus) and reading plans. There are confessions and religions books like 'The City of God," C.S. Lewes' books and "Pilgrim's progress." If the pastor recommends a book by a theologian I can instantly find it and save it with the option to buy it. I like to use Laridian as a source for Bible software because they have a policy that if you have ever purchased something in any format (for instance Windows) they give you free updates on any other platform (example Android). I have Windows-based books I bout 15 years ago that I have recently updated to the latest Android version for free.

 

The last time I brought my phone, I accidentally made it start speaking. So outloud it was reading the verse the Preacher was reading.

 

Laridian? Thanks, I'll have to check them out.

 

You guys are giving me phone envy.

My Droid Turbo is almost three years old. Still works great but the massive battery no longer lasts two days; nowadays it can't quite get through a full day. I looked at both the S8+ and the Note 8. I decided if I were to go Samsung I'd like the S8 Active if it ever gets to Verizon. Otherwise it's Pixel 2 XL, I think.

 

I had a Gal S6 but it completely died on me out of warranty. There was some kind of SW and/or HW issue between the motherboard and the charging portal. I've been skipping releases and have had the Gal 2/4/6 previously. I was going to wait a while longer to get the S8 but was forced to do something. Actually used S6's had held their value (for those that worked) and I didn't want to pay that much for the same thing I had before. I've never been an Apple fan and thought the S8/S8+ was the best phone out there. I changed my AT&T plan and was able to put my brother on as simply an additional device sharing data whereas before I had to pay for him as a separate account because he lives in a different state. (I got the employee discount and now the retiree discount so I paid for his phone.) I'm going with a combined 3 Gb data plan for both phones and my Gal S Tab which I bought refurbished for $200. I'm really careful about only using a lot of data when I'm on WiFi. Under the new plan I pay about $50 less a month included the per month charge for the new phone.

I didn't know whether to go for the S8 or S8+ because I thought the 8+ might be a little big. But I know a guy still at AT&T Mobility who had gotten both to test before they were released and he talked me into the 8+. I'm glad he did. It's a great phone and has two features that are really worthwhile, high definition voice (which was actually my idea but I didn't get anything for it) and WiFi calling. I live near a cell tower but also near some high voltage power lines which I believe effect my cellular quality. Calling WiFi bypasses the cellular ingress network and gives me much better quality.

As you can tell I'm still very much interested in cellular phones/tablets and networking!

 

I buy my phones I had a Galaxy S3, which did all I need. I kept mislaying it around the house, so I bought a bright red case, so that I could find it easier. I lost it about 2 weeks later. My bank gives free phone insurance and you pay an excess of £25 for repairs and £50 for a lost phone, They then said they would replace it with another S3 which would probably be worth about £50 so I bought a Galaxy S6 from Amazon. I am happy with that. I don't want the latest model, I can't work out half of what any of them do.
