My electronic scriptures are really good for chasing footnotes I'm curious about, since I can do it really fast. I love being able to search the scriptures with a find function for specific words and find all instances it is used. I love being able to highlight and put little symbols in. <br />However, my methods of scripture marking are not limited to highlighting, or underlining, so electronic scriptures begin to seem limiting when I want to draw pictures, bracket, outline, draw arrows, insert numbers, insert letters, or just plain write big over everything.<br /><br />My belief is that if I learn something, I should be writing it in a scripture journal so that I can still have it when/if I need to get a new set of scriptures.<br /><br />Here's a thought: what happens when you need to get a new set of electronic scriptures? ;-)Michaela Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163084369311708249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266009681076554415.post-40948976835233784702012-04-12T11:41:01.726-04:002012-04-12T11:41:01.726-04:00Hi Paul, I got a Kindle Fire for Christmas and I t...Hi Paul, I got a Kindle Fire for Christmas and I think it's great for church. I have manuals, scriptures and other references all in one easy to carry package. I still love books when I want to read but that is rarely what we use books for at church. We use them for reference and digital references are by far easier and more accessible, and therefore more used, than paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266009681076554415.post-21469198635453726702012-04-12T09:34:17.234-04:002012-04-12T09:34:17.234-04:00The only electronic device I have is an iPod Touch...The only electronic device I have is an iPod Touch. I take it to church because it is easier to carry than my paper scriptures. However, I am getting a little annoyed with the size of the print in my iPod. I prefer to read the scriptures at home using my regular paper ones. I have seen others use iPads and Kindles, but I haven't bought either of those. I work in Primary, and I have seen some of the older children carry electronic devices, which I think is a little over-the-top.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
