I prefer to read my Bible my now deceased friend gave me. THAT said, sometimes, if I haven’t got mine with me, I will read it on my phone (generally on the EWTN app)
 
I prefer hard copy but I will read on the phone occasionally. When I do I use iPieta to read the daily readings for the Traditional Mass.
 
If necessary, I will read the Bible on my phone, but I will otherwise always read a physical Bible.
 
Not really. I have a few versions on my phone for travel and for ease of posting quotes, but I prefer a physical book. Both physical bibles and electronic bibles have their advantages.
 
During Lent, I went to the USCCB website and read from the NABRE it provides when I didn’t have a physical book with me. I prefer the book.
 
I prefer to simply read from the physical book, but I also like the tools that YouVersion provides, along with a couple of other apps for study purposes. I find myself there often.
 
Mostly I read my hard copy.

But for the Psalms, I prefer a different translation than the one I have, so I use my phone (or laptop) for that. On Sundays (up in the choir loft) I use my phone for the readings because we don’t have copies up there.
 
Yes I prefer reading the bible on my phone. It’s mobile
 
To read at length I prefer the hard copy, but I daily use Laudate app for daily readings and pod casts and much more:)
 
I like having the whole Bible in hardcopy form, but for on-the-go use I like to read the USCCB daily readings on my phone or laptop.
I also find the online Bible sites good for a quick compare of how the same verse reads in multiple versions of the Bible.
 
I’m a big fan to both hard copy and mobile versions. The hard copy is great for at home use and I find the mobile version best when I’m in discussions on social media. The mobile version has multiple versions which allows me to take, let’s say, King James Version and translate it into a more accurate translation like RSV-CE or DR. When I’m just reading for fun or personal study I always love going to the hard copy. Ignatius Press has a great RSV-CE 2nd Edition Bible that I highly recommend! 👍
 
No. I do not like reading the Bible on my phone or even my Kindle.
 
My husband prefers his laptop and will use the phone when he’s away from home.

I always prefer hard-copy, because I like to write in books as I’m reading; at times I even carry a Bible in my purse (which I use mostly as a mobile library). I only use my phone if I can’t get my hands on a physical copy. I do like using the internet sources when I want to compare translations though - it’s a lot easier than going through a stack of Bibles!
 
With regard to this question, I have definitely become a child of the 21st century – I have several translations on my phone, including a Vulgate and a Spanish translation. But my favorite is The Word of Promise, a dramatized ebook version of the entire NKJV that I have on the Audible app on my phone. When I turn the lights out at night, I bring that up, tuck my phone under my pillow, and listen to a few chapters as my body is winding down.
 
I prefer ebooks in general, since it’s a lot easier to find information and I can carry a lot more of them in my backpack.
 
I do prefer to only because the Catholic Bible I bought is a nice used copy and I worry about damaging it.
 
I prefer my hardback copy. Using it has a more personal feel than using my phone.

I prefer the mobile one ( Laudate ) but write all my notes down in the paperback douay-rheims I have

God bless
