For example, suppose you had the siddur your grandmother cried tears on all the years she was alive.
Don’t you think davening from such a siddur is better than an electronic device?
It’s probably also better than using a new siddur too. So, what’s the point? The only reason that the siddur (in your case) is special, is because it has sentimental value *to you*. I have no attachment to the siddur your grandmother used.
However, based on your argument, I should only daven from sidduring in which I have an emotional attachment and not any old siddur “off the shelf.”
In fact, the siddur I use was one I bought new in my teens. I still use it today because about 17 years ago, my son got a hold of it and scribbled on some of the pages. Now, whenever I use it, I have a very visible reminder of what I need to daven for. However, according to your theory, I should not have this because when I bought the siddur it was new and did not have the emotional attachment equating to one that my grandmother cried in.
Holding an expensive device is not in the spirit of how one should supplicate themselves while davening.
It’s kind of like, I look cool davening like this.
Back in the days when siddurim were only available as handwritten manuscripts, I suppose the same could have been said then.
The device is also used to play games. So you are using a device used for hollelus and kalus rosh to daven from
And suppose you don’t use it for games?
The Wolf (who is *sure* that someone’s going to tell him that he’s disrespecting HKBH by using a siddur with a child’s scribbles in it.)
