iPad Mini for preaching?
Hey All - considering picking up the iPad Mini to be able to read Logos books on and then to use for preaching. Anyone have any experience using sermons on an iPad mini to preach from? Any feedback from your experience would be great!
- It seems that many in ministry and others are attracted to the iPad and Mac environment. I'm a PC guy, and always have been. 10 years ago I used a mini, 2nd generation, and there were many things I did like about it. However, my $500 went in the trash at 4 years when it no longer updated. I now use Samsung A series tablets for longer periods of time, and don't have to engage apple in any way. I preach, teach, and read on it.
- From an IT perspective, if you are part of a church with a 501C3, you can get much better pricing on android tablets and google apps. You can run all those on the ipad, but from a financial directive, you are almost always more cost effective to go Android or Chromebook. Are there any specific apps you are looking to use that would guide you to the ipad? What are you using to compile your sermons? As a e-reader, I like my Amazon Fire 8 with Bible Gateway. My fire's performance is not as smooth or as fast as my wife's ipad, but it is more than sufficient for my needs.
- I use an iPad Pro to preach from and sometimes even do my sermon prep on. I generally use the desktop version for writing and the iPad version for reading/preaching from.
