What do you read for devotions?

It is amazing to me how much I am enjoying a particular version of the Bible and how God is speaking to me through it. Funny thing is, I enjoy it best via my laptop! And when I read, I am not just reading 1, 2, or 3 chapters. I read it like I do a regular book. Maybe it's my love for God's Word showing me, but I enjoy the online access as well as the tools available within a finger touch! I also have kept several versions on my PDA/mobile phone for many years. So it goes where I go.

Survey:
1. Who reads the Bible mostly electronically?

2. Who reads the Bible mostly in the bound, book form?

I wish I could set up a poll so we could answer anonymously, but I do not see how it is done.
 
I read primarily from my netbook. I use Quickverse bible software and enjoy having a commentary page open and being able to switch back and forth from about 30 translations. The only sad part about reading electronically for me is that when I need to find a scripture in an actual bible it can be difficult. Whereas 20 years ago when all I had was a bible the pages seemed to fall open to the verse I was looking for...

I love the actual physical Bible. I like underlining my favorite verses or writing little comments on the side..it makes it MY bible. I only use an electronic one if i don't have the book version close at hand :P
 
There are some days when you get that "wow, God" feeling after reading, and days when you don't. So I started reading books in combo with the Bible. And it has helped me sooo much. Some really good ones (for anyone who is interested, or cares, which is probably the same thing)

"The Jesus I Never Knew" Phillip Yancey
"A Contrarians Guide to Knowing God" Larry Osborne
"Crazy Love" Francis Chan

And a must for every Christian at some point. When you feel like having your brain explode...
"Mere Christianity" C.S. Lewis
 
Mostly the physical Bible... for the same reason as Sheckle, unless I'm writing then I use electronic.

As far as books, anything by C.H. Spurgeon, though lately I've been going through Institutes of the Christian Faith, by John Calvin (which is really good!)
 
I do mostly electronic now. I read a lot of webpages and it's so easy to just cross reference info with the Bible instantly on my computer when there is something I want to check.
