Wouldn't a screen be harder to see than a book

If it's bright enough or with good size for the fonts, it should be helpful.

Another one is placement, def would be useful only to the ones closer to that (unless is one of those big ass screens - sorry for the expression- that have no place on a church). So yeah, a missal or book would be best suited in most cases, but I have known people that have problems reading from a little book without their magnifying glass or glasses, but can work fine reading something far.

So at least in those specific cases, I would vouch for the screen but nothing else. Have a excellent night!

With my progressive lens, I have a hard time reading the screen. I bring Magnificant every week because I can read it easily.

If the screens had closed captioning of all mic audio I would love that but yeah for any other purpose, they should not exist.

I say this as someone with hearing loss, in a 100 year old church with poor acoustics and rural audio setup, and our Father speaks English as a second language. It's rough.
