For pastors and church leaders evaluating digital sermon notes.
The Real Cost
Paper: Printing weekly, $500-2000 per year, last-minute reprints, storage.
Digital: Near-zero marginal cost, instant updates, no waste.
Accessibility
Paper: Fixed font, lost, crumpled, left in pews.
Digital: Adjustable font, searchable, always on phone.
Engagement
Paper: Fill-in blanks, no links, no sharing.
Digital: Scripture links, personal notes, share with family.
Environment
Paper: Paper waste, ink, recycling.
Digital: Sustainable, minimal carbon footprint.
