Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm leaving this review online for historical reasons. The navigation features i mentioned below are not included in the most current version as of June 2013. I'm leaving 4 stars because it's an adequate translation and it's free, which is the Right Thing to do with Bibles. If you are looking for a Bible with easy navigation, the only one i'm aware of is the King James version by Osnova. Bible (KJV) (best navigation with Direct Verse Jump; paragraphed) ===== I'm aware that other reviewers commented negatively on the navigation, but that must have been for a previous edition, because i feel that with this one, someone finally implemented navigation correctly for a Kindle Bible: 1) Table of Contents allows you to jump to specific Bible book. 2) Links at the start of the book let you jump to specific chapter. 3) Book name printed next to chapter number allows you to easily find out where you are, when you're in a "random" verse inside the Bible... this is the most lacking feature in other Kindle Bibles. 4) When you are inside a book, the joystick/5-way controller lets you move between chapters. 5) When you are at the beginning of a book, the controller lets you move between Bible books. 6) And here's the clincher: special Index section, accessible via Kindle menu, lets you jump directly to any specific verse, if you know the standard book abbreviations (which are listed in the introduction). For example, to find John 3.16: hit menu, index, type jn[space]3[space]16[enter] and there you are. Now to wait for other publishers to implement this quality of navigation... While you wait, grab this one. Hey, right now it's even free! ----------- 2013 UPDATE: On the Paperwhite, you lose the ability to use the joystick to move around, and the index search is not as convenient as on the Kindle 2. However, index still works: 1. Tap the magnifying glass 2. Enter the abbreviation correctly (e.g.: jn 3 16) 3. Tap the drop-down to search the index. 4. Tap the -> to search 5. Tap the index entry. Check out the abbreviation list here: http://osnova.com/2010/12/09/279/ Also, if your table of contents is messed up on the Paperwhite, you should check if there is a pending update for this Bible (in "Manage your Kindle"). That fixed it for me. One more note, i believe index navigation is not available immediately, only after the Kindle finishes indexing (!) your book, which may take a while for a long book like a Bible.
