What Mobile Device do you use and how do you use it?
I'm trying to decide the best possible solution for my study, preaching, and teaching needs while getting the very best use by combining technology and the Word.
1st I want to get the most of Logo while I'm on the go whether it's for deeper study or sharing the Word so I'm thinking that something like Surface Go 3, Ipad Pro, Ipad Mini 6 or Amazon Fire.
2nd I tend to go back and forth between Logos and kindle apps for references during my sermons and notes. I prefer something small but not too small, something between 8-11 inches of viewing.
3rd Ideally I want to use ebooks, Logos and study notes which I normally save as pdf once I've done bulk of my studies.
Trying to balance between my Kindle and Logos is the most challenging.
So what mobile device do you use and for what reasons?
TIA,
Greg

So what mobile device do you use and for what reasons?
I use three mobile devices - an iPad, an iPhone and an Android phone.
The bulk of my usage of mobile devices is the iPad - with the two phones for quick lookup of verses, Factbook entries, searches etc when I don't have my iPad with me or using a phone is more convenient
I use the iPad most heavily when preaching - using the Logos Sermon Builder to write sermons on my desktop and then using the mobile to preach from (and control slides in Proclaim at the same time).
I also use it to take notes during sermons when others are preaching.
I use it less frequently for reading sections in a reading plan. On occasions - when I don't have access to my desktop / laptop I will use it for deeper study - and while it is not as functional as the full desktop app it does a good job in that regard.
Incidentally - you might get more traction with this question if you cross-post it in the mobile app forum.

I use a laptop for all serious study and teaching. It's the only thing that has the grunt.
Then I use a large Android phone (6.7") for reading when away from the desk/classroom. I don't see a need to carry a tablet as well. The phone is fine for small groups and personal reading.
For preaching, I use paper with all the texts written out, since dead trees are more relable that dead batteries/devices. The Android phone is always present if I suddenly do need to refer to another text.

I use the Android phone when reading while commuting. It is also useful when discussing with young people (below 30).

I use a laptop for the heavy deep study stuff.... and I use my laptop for preaching most of the time because it's easier to run PowerPoint. I use an android phone for all else...
I do have a tablet... but find I don't like the extra bulk of carrying it around. I do take notes on my phone for classes, sermons etc. I have 3 layouts on my phone that I use regularly...

I use a laptop for much of my study but also use a Onyx Boox Note air 2 plus primarily for reading and note taking. I like e-ink for reading and can have my Kindle, Logos, Accordance, and Pdf books all on the same device.

I use my desktop (four monitors) to do all of my deep study, and I organize my teaching notes in the sermon builder, which then syncs to my iPad or Android Tablet. I use the iPad/Android to actually teach from. I also use the iPad for reading and highlighting books.
Disclaimer: I hate using messaging, texting, and email for real communication. If anything that I type to you seems like anything other than humble and respectful, then I have not done a good job typing my thoughts.

I used to use a iPad for reading and preaching, but I like reading in the desktop Logos much more—primarily because it's so much easier to take notes and highlight. So now I have a MacBook Air M2, which is light and is almost as comfortable as an iPad when it comes to sitting in a rocker and reading.
I also use an iPhone for reading when I am out and about and have a few minutes to kill while waiting for someone—or when I am reading myself to sleep at night.
