“The text has the kedusha, not the paper. If you want kedusha, hire a sofer to write out the entire text on real Klaf (like S.T.A.M.) in Ktav Ashurit.”

The paper of a siddur or chumash has a din of shaimos requiring geniza. No need to davka have a klaf and ksav ashuris. A broken Kindel or Ipad, no matter how much Torah was downloaded on it – does not become shaimos.

[There is an interesting shaylah about deleting a page that contains shaimos sh’ainom nimchokim from a computer or electronic device – I leave that for another thread].
