 Good but could be better September 23, 2008
They did a good job of formatting the bible for the Kindle. However, there are no cross references and it's quite a bit of work to jump from location to location (go to index, page to the desired book, page to the desired chapter, page to the desired verse). Not sure how they could have made it better but maybe take advantage of the keyboard.

This book was entertaining for the most part, full of a mixture of stories ranging from the absurd to semi-useful to outrageously violent. Like most mythologies, there are lessons presented in the parables of the book that could benefit its readers, but I would not recommend for children under 18, especially the rather graphic chapters detailing torture and incest.

Holy Bible: New American Standard Bible (NASB) After searching you can't really identify where you are in the bible (what book?) Must scroll to the nearest book beginning
Good Kindle Version of the Bible February 28, 2008
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
After doing some research I found this version of the Bible highly recommended by others.
I purchased it and also find it good since it has a nice index with a right justified Table of Contents for easy searching.
It is pretty cool carrying the book on my Kindle. Very Nice !!
 Great for the Kindle February 12, 2008

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 Kindle versions of the Holy Bible and have found this one to be the most well thought out in terms of Kindle navigation.
One of the few problems I have had with the Kindle is selecting specific lines of text with the cursor which moves up and down the right side of the reading pane. If the text is located in the center of the page (Holy Bible, New International Version, NIV Kindle Edition by International Bible Society), or worse, justified left (Holy Bible, King James Version KJV Kindle Edition by Olive Tree Bible Software), then it is sometimes difficult to line up the cursor with the book you wish to jump to.
This is the first edition I've had experience with that justifies the Table of Contents to the right, next to the cursor, so it is easy to select a particular line. I also really like the fact that after selecting a particular book, you are immediately taken to a sub menu listing the individual chapters, also justified right.
The verse numbers are set slightly above the text when you actually reach text for continued simplicity in navigation.
For me, this is the best set-up for Kindle versions of Holy Scripture and after a little practice, I have been able to look up verses faster than I am able to do with an actual book.
I specifically recommend this version for those looking for a "Kindle Friendly" version of the Holy Bible and especially to those who are looking for a NASB version.
