My Bible (recall, Baptist, service, KJV)

[Charlie24]

I have worn out several Bibles through the years. They just start falling apart from use.

I staple them, tape them up to keep from losing the nuggets I've found and written throughout.

So I decided to get new ones and go page by page and copy the nuggets in the new Bible.

It's worth it I think, as to not lose the enlightenment.

What do you do? Any suggestions?

Get yourself a Kindle and download a Bible to it. Yes you can annotate, mark, highlight and all that good stuff with Kindle.

Most of us now use electronic versions, have you considered that sir?

That's sounds like a great idea! I am not a tech person though, I have no idea what Kindle is, of course I could learn, but I have no desire. I'm just a stick in the mud when it comes to these things.

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I had to take 2 computer classes which I barely passed before taking college classes. It was miserable, I just don't click with that stuff.

I personally use an ipad now for mine. Harder to write in the notes. But I do recall my first couple that were the same way.

I'd suggest a trip to Best Buy to play with one on display and ask questions.
But with this pandemic......

A Kindle is a very simple device for reading e-books.

An iPad might be too much for a non tech person, especially if it will only be used for reading.

Oh..just thought of this. You can download the Kindle app for your computer and read e-books on your computer.
Good way to try it out.

Now I might try that. There's really no gadget to fiddle with.
