I prefer the hold-able version, myself...BUT this younger generation spends more time on their phones/ipads, and kindles than actual books. My thought is, despite my personal preferences, ANYTHING that brings the younger generation to read the bible or get bible quotes/verses everyday is a good thing
Actually, I spend a lot of time reading it on my Kindle because I can read in bed at night without turning on a light and waking my husband. My teenage daughter uses both the app and the book. I'm just so grateful she reads it at all, I don't care HOW she reads it. I doubt God minds either way as long as you read it!
