Electronic resources for Greek certainly helped me to learn how to 
understand what I was reading. They still help me to verify that a verb 
form really is what I think it is. And they really help me associate 
different kinds of resources.

People misinterpret Greek, whether in electronic form or paper. Electronic 
Bibles make Greek more accessible to people, so that more people can 
correctly interpret it and more people can incorrectly interpret it.

It would be interesting to see some real studies that demonstrate the 
effect that electronic resources have on comprehension when used in various 
ways. But exchanging off-hand opinions about that is (yawn) boring....
