Medium

You can* read the Bible on your phone (I prefer the YouVersion Bible App).  However, my recommendation is that you read from your own paper Bible.  There is something about holding the book in your hands, possibly underlining, and taking notes (as will be discussed in a later article) that I believe leads to a better connection with the text that you are reading. I think this is especially true for beginner Bible readers.  Consider the level of importance and credibility with which you regard most of the things that you read on your phone (in my experience it is low).  I worry that the use of your phone as a medium for Bible reading may impair the way you perceive the text of Scripture.  I have a Kindle Paperwhite, a tablet, a laptop, and a fancy smartphone. I have read from the Bible on all of those devices, and none of them come anywhere close to the reading experience I have with a good paper Bible (more on what I think makes a Bible good below).
