I received this as a gift and I have to say that I am very impressed. There are times when you want to be able to quote a verse from the bible, but you just can't remember how it goes.

You can then type in words that you know that are in the verse and it will find it for you. Then you can mark it and save it in your book marks.

It also has an organizer to keep track of names, phone numbers and addresses.

What a great gift for anyone that wants to learn the bible or for those who want to remember verses for those special times.

It comes in two versions (King James & NIV). If you want an easy to read version go with the NIV.

All will be blessed by this gift.

I have owned Franklin's KJV Electronic Bible for years and am searching for one for my minister brother. When we're referencing scriptures on the phone, while he's talking, within seconds I've located where it's found with my electronic Bible. THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO REPLACE IT! I LOVE IT'S USEFULNESS! Also, when I don't feel like "wagging" a larger one to church, this one fits right into my purse.
Thank You FRANKLIN!

Since I have had this electronic bible, which has only been a month, it fronze up on me twice. The reset button didn't work so the only way I could clear the screen was to take the batteries out and put them back in again.

This electronic book is like carrying two much larger books to every speaking engagement. It allows you to look up any word or phrase with something not much bigger than a credit card. And, my eyesight is very poor - this is very easy too read, and can easily be set to three different type sizes. You can also check the time very discretely.

I've had mine for years and love it.
I highly recommend changing the settings for 4 lines of text not 3.
The word search/concordance is perfect: Buried Baptism = Romans 6:4 and Colossians 2:12.
I also bought the NIV and the word search was horrible.

I purchased this item for a friend for his ordination ceremony. He was pleasently surprised ! Something he always wanted but neglected to buy. He loves it . So easy to use, compact and fast. Takes it everywhere and says it is more convenienct than carrying a heavy bulky Bible. Thanks for the quality.

The pocket bible I purchased was fantastic. I wish it was around when I was younger. I would recommend this bible to everyone. And it is very reasonably priced. I love it!-I love it! I love it. Ronnie Bailey

This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. I use it in bible class to search for passages that are familiar, but I can't readily locate. This little devise makes me seem smarter than I really am. The search engine is fast and powerful.

I reccomend this to anyone considering an electronic bible- this is by far the best one there is. Easy to use- with lots of great features for a low price!

I bought this at a local bible book store. I was so pleased to see that it saved phone numbers and personal info on top of being an electronic bible. The bible portion of this unit is awesome. I could not ask for anything else as far as ease of use and convenience goes.

I started saving various numbers and bits of info. and then I shut off the device and put it in my pocket.

Later on I pulled out the electronic bible from my pocket and turned it on only to discover that all of the data that I saved in the device was gone. I was baffled at first but eventually I realized the problem. This unit is so cheaply built and is so flimsy that the device bends/buckles. When that happens it causes the batteries (2 button style: CR2032) to lose contact with the unit's battery terminals hence causing the saved data to be lost.

If this thing was constructed of better material that did not bend this would be a home run. But the cheap plastic case is nothing like the Franklin products from twenty or so years ago. The new style case is so cheap it has Made in China written all over it. Franklin needs to tighten up the design of the case. The use of higher quality materials that would stiffen up the case and make it less bendable would be a good route for them to go. Something that has heft and that is sturdy would be great. I do not think the price would go up much more if they used a better material. Just a thought Franklin.

So the bible portion of this device is great. I have no complaints there. My complaints are with the cheapness of this device. It is so flimsy that it does not justify a price of more that $10.

I admire Franklin for the things that they do and make for consumers but the cheapness here is an insult. I regret wasting hard earned money on this cheap thing.
