Hobbit78, huh.
The answer is "a ring!"
oh. wait. wrong riddle. confound it ...
I think it is:
FLYER
because
It can be a noun or a verb;
flyers are often used to provide short advertisements, like a blurb,
it's an airplane (a flyer), the paper may be trash tomorrow,
and it takes a (tiny) effort to distribute flyers, to fly a paper airplane or to throw away trash.
You can get flyers via email, mail, or in a store;
you can recycle the paper or discard it.

Nice one. I was thinking "receipt" but I think you've nailed it.

I believe the answer is:
page
Both a noun and a verb , but issued in a tiny blurb.
You can page someone (with a pager) and when issued in that way it is only a tiny blurb of a sentence or two
An airplane today, trash tomorrow, all of these require a bit of power.
Paper plane, paper trash, not sure about a bit of power
Delivered via server, mail or store;
A web page is delivered via server, a page of a letter is delivered via mail, and a page of a book is delivered by store
throw it away, or use it some more.
A page can be reused

I believe the answer is:
package
Both a noun and a verb,
You can package something, or deliver a package.
but issued in a tiny blurb.
Package is a single, relatively short word
An airplane today, trash tomorrow, all of these require a bit of power.
Not quite sure on this one, although it could refer to means of transporting packages (airplanes) and opening packages (turning them into trash), both of which use energy
Delivered via server, mail or store;
Web servers send data in packages, packages can be delivered by mail, or you can buy packages (of things) in stores
throw it away, or use it some more.
Packaging can be thrown out or reused

The answer is
Paper
Both a noun and a verb
Paper is a noun (obviously), but you can also use it to paper something (which is a verb).
, but issued in a tiny blurb.
I feel like this is just here for the rhyme.
An airplane today
Paper airplanes
, trash tomorrow
Trashed paper
, all of these require a bit of power.
Not clear on this line.
Delivered via server
Your check at a restaurant is printed on paper and delivered by the server.
Letters.
or store
You can buy paper at a store.
; throw it away
You can throw away paper.
, or use it some more.
Or you can reuse paper.
