Review by Kingston for Holy Bible (NIV)

This is the only Kindle Bible I have found (including free Bibles from non Amazon sources) which has a full table of contents. Each Book is easily accessed from the TOC and there is a clickable numeric list of chapters in each book when you open it.
I don’t understand how T.Heyn could have misread this. Maybe he had an earlier Kindle version which has since been updated.
I can find John 3:16 or any other verse in this Bible in just a few seconds. Buy this one and you will not be disappointed.

This review will simply address the mechanics of this version of the Holy Bible in regards to the Kindle. I will refrain from any comments regarding the nature of the translation, leaving that for those far more learned than myself.
I have downloaded several versions of the Holy Bible and I am pretty pleased with this one. The Table of Contents is easy to access. The individual books listed are centered and run down the middle of the page. After selecting a book, you are taken to that book with the first line(s) being a list of selectable chapters followed by the beginning of the text of that book. You can start to read or you can select a line of chapters which will take you to a sub-menu which allows you to select the specific chapter you want.
The main problem I had with this set-up is the centering of the text sometimes made it difficult to select a specific book without occasionally hitting the one on top or bottom and having to go back and try again. Also, the Chapter list sub-menu seems to be an annoying additional step.
The best “Kindle” set-up I’ve found so far is the Holy Bible: New American Standard Bible (NASB) (Kindle Edition) by The Lockman Foundation. The TOC is set up with a right justification so the text is right next to the cursor. Once you select a book, you are taken to a right justified chapter list. Selecting a chapter takes you right to the text, avoiding the sub-menu step. This, for me, has proven to be the most efficient style of navigation for Bible Study and reading.
I will continue my collection of Kindle Bible versions, but I’m not going to waste any more money on versions which are not optimized for the Kindle with right justification of selectable lists.

I think this is a great Bible for the Kindle. It is almost perfect with maybe just a couple of tweeks. I find it quick and easy to navigate to just about anywhere in the Bible (except for the New Testament, which I’ll explain later). Simply go to the Table of Contents, page/scroll to the book of the Bible you are looking for and click on it. This will open up to the first chapter of that book, at the top will be a list of verse numbers, click on the line that has your the verse # you are looking for, then click on the verse # and ‘voila’ there you have it (sounds more time consuming than it really is). This Bible also has clickable links within the text, sort of like a paper Bible… you’ll see a ‘half-size’ letter next to a word signifying there is a link to follow, simply scroll up to the line containing that character and click on it, it will take you to the supplemental info. Click the ‘back’ button to go back to where you left off.
Now, on to the New Testament, it works the same way the Old Testament does, but I find it inconvenient because, say you want to look up something in Romans… You have to page through pages and pages in the Table of Contents before you get past all the Old Testament Books before you get to the New Testament. A better work around would be to give you the option of “jumping” to New Testament books via a ‘clickable link’ at the beginning of the TOC.
Next, I would like more of the Study Bible comments and links added to the Bible.
Other than that, it works great and I’m extremely pleased at out easy it is to use.
Review by Jason Fu for Holy Bible (NIV)

The navigation for this Bible, also indicated by other reviewers, is extremely cumbersome. For example, if you want to go to a specific verse, Isaiah 43:25 for instance, you will have to do the following:
Menu->Table of Contents->The Books of the Old Testament (5 clicks)->Next Page->Isaiah (5 down clicks)->Chapter 43 (12 clicks)->Verse 25 (8 clicks).
Navigating with the 5-way nub is slow to begin with, but having to go through 5 separate pages with more than 20 “clicks” of the nub to get to a single verse is a huge headache. Simply searching for Isaiah 43 doesn’t work.
Compare this to the Holy Bible: New American Standard Bible (NASB) (Kindle Edition) where you can just search for Isaiah 43 and you are brought immediately to Isaiah 43 from where you can then “Next Page” to vs. 25.
The one star review is due to the incredibly poor navigation. I would love to see something similar to that which is found in the NASB Kindle or beyond that where you can search for “Isaiah 43:25″ and be brought to the verse or even an abbreviated “IS 43:25″.

I have read this book in its entirety and am currently working my way through it again. I have other Bibles and I must say none of them can even compare to this version. If you want literal, precise reading that is untainted by other peoples veiws on the subjects within,then this is the Bible for you. RAYMIE D. CONNOLLY JR.
