Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This Kindle version of "The Douay-Rheims Bible" is special in that it has book and chapter navigation links. In just a few clicks, you can be reading any verse in the bible that you want.

For example, if you wish to select John 3:16, you would:

* go to the "Table of Contents",
* click "Forward to New Testament" on the top of the page,
* select the book of John, and then
* select chapter "3" at the top of the page with the Kindle Select wheel.

You then are reading chapter 3 of John, and can scroll down to verse 16.

Additionally, at the top of each book, you can choose to go to the previous or next books of the bible. You can also go to the "Table of Contents" by selecting "Home".

This Challoner revision has notes embedded inline with the verses of the bible. These notes are generally attributed to Bishop Challoner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Kindle Formatting!, May 29, 2008

By	robert3124 "robert3124" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

I was very happy to see this in the Kindle store. This is the Gutenberg Project's Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, formatted VERY nicely for the Kindle!!! I've been using the version from [...] that is "formatted for Kindle" but isn't really. As another reviewer said, you had to read it straight through, like a novel. These book and chapter navigation links are wonderful and WELL WORTH the price! To the author of this Kindle edition: I see you have formatted a few other public domain books, including the KJV. If you're looking for suggestions about what to do next, please consider formatting the "Lives of the Saints" by Fr. Alban Butler. At the risk of sounding too enthusiastic, you've acquired a very happy customer!

3.0 out of 5 stars Embedded commentary distracts, June 9, 2008

By	M. Lerch - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

5 stars for formatting, sure, but I had no idea from the product description or reviews that there is commentary embedded directly into the text. I find it distracting and difficult to do a slow meditative reading of the scripture when there is something other than God's word present within the text - sometimes after every verse. At first I was completely taken aback. I probably have a dozen different bibles and translations (non eBook), including Douay-Rheims, and I've never seen such a thing. But yes, the formatting is absolutely vital for the Kindle.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Kindle edition developed to be easy to navigate and read!, May 27, 2008

By	Diana Mecum (Santa Clara, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This Kindle edition of the Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision, was created to offer the user a bible with easy book and chapter navigation. This review is for product B001A82B5I

The "Table of Contents", on page three of the edition, lists all 73 books of this edition of the bible, and also has quick links to both the New and Old Testaments. Just select the book title you want to go directly to it. Once you are at the top of the book page, you can select the chapter you want in two clicks. You are there! Navigation links at the beginning of each book allow you to select any chapter you want, back up or forward to the previous or next book, respectively, or return "Home" to the "Table of Contents".
