This review is from: Holy Bible: New American Standard Bible (NASB 1977 edition) (Kindle Edition)

I just downloaded this Bible on my new Kindle after reading the reviews of the various bibles offered. Therefore, I knew beforehand that it was limited in the options i was looking for, but seemed the best for the choice of translations i wanted. The main problem i find in locating Bible passages is that once you are on a page, you don't have any indication which book or chapter you are in. this is a problem if you are skipping around in more than one passage. also, if you use the word search option, you get the "location" number...which means nothing as far as which book &/or chapter in the Bible where the word is located. Because i know the Bible very well, i can scan the passage and then make a good guess as to which is the passage reference i'm looking for, but of course, i would have to have the entire Bible memorized to know for sure...in which case, i would not even need an e-bible to read from!
i do think that locating a passage using the table of contents and then chapter is workable, so i am glad i bought this version. i just hope that in the future, someone will come up with a format that is more practical for Bible reading and study,.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good layout for Kindle, August 26, 2009

This review is from: Holy Bible: New American Standard Bible (NASB 1977 edition) (Kindle Edition)

This version has a great table of contents that allows you to easily get to the book and chapter you're looking for. This allows you to navigate as quickly as a non-touchscreen e-reader will allow for. You can get to where you want to go pretty quickly on the Kindle; and even faster on an iPod Touch/iPhone.

The publisher made this version as Kindle friendly as I think is possible.

2.0 out of 5 stars Navigation is lousy, December 28, 2010

Navigating through this version of the Bible is bad. I really like the NASV of the Bible, but finding book, chapter and verse quickly is impossible with this Kindle version. And if you open to your last held position, you don't have the book or chapter displayed on the screen. In my case I had to back page 2 or 3 pages to find out which book and chapter I was reading.
