When you are reading on any give page you have no idea what book of the Bible you are in because it appears no where on the page. So you either have to page back to the beginning of the book to see what it is or return to the index and go to where you want from there.

I have the Print Version of the NIV Study Bible, but as a new Kindle User - getting away from Dead Tree Books is a Priority for me.

I wished to return to the KJV, since the writing style causes me to THINK, and then write my own interpretations. I had downloaded samples of a lot of Bibles, but was not pleased with the formatting. I downloaded the sample for this version to my PC, and quite liked the tabbed Chapters.

I put the Bible and Daily Meditations, Devotions in the same Collection. Then, I can quickly open up that days reading, press Home, Right Click on the Authorized King James Version Holy Bible for Kindle title, Search for Book Name, Click on Chapter, and I am there (I like to read the whole chapter, it puts more meaning into the verse being studied).

Highlighting and Notes are a breeze on the Kindle, and can be shared with the kindle.amazon.com page, and the Kindle for PC.

After reading the Chapter, I back out of the Bible, and return to the days meditation.

Because I've used up my book allowance for the month - I am using 2 study guides: Daily Strength for Daily Needs, very good to inspire my own notes and writing; and Craving God eBook, which can be useful for inspiration, but not as good as the Daily Strength. However, I am quite willing to spend the $1 for this book.

For the Money, you can't get better than this. Thanks Christian Miracle Foundation Press.

I bought this version with hopes of being able to get through with little problems, not so. While using it in bible study, verses were missing, yes missing. I turned page and it was a new chapter. Navigating is horrible, you have to go to table of contents and flip through to chapter and verse and when you need it quick this will not work. I do not recommend this verse due to poor navigation.

I was looking for a e-Bible for my Kindle so I wouldn't have to lug my actual Bible around. Anyways, I've found this one is pretty good, sure it take a little longer to get to the scriptures this way than to just turn to them in my Bible. But if you make sure to keep it on the Table of Contents, select old or New Testament, go to the book of the Bible, then you select the chapter, and then you finally skip pages until you find the verse you want. Sounds difficult, but once you get the hang of it it doesn't take long.

I am very happy with this purchase. I can now replace my hardcover Bible with this Kindle King James version. The King James I find is a much better version than the more trendy translations that come and go. This version was delivered very quickly and I found it very easy to use with the interactive table of contents.

Overall, very good.

I purchased this bible and tried a search. No matter what I tried I was not able to search and locate a specific chapter and verse. I think that is an important feature to have in a Kindle bible.

It is also very frustrating to have no idea what book, chapter or verse you are in when you are in the middle of a book. You need to page all the way back to the VERY FIRST chapter to know the book you are in! That is unacceptable.

At this point I am skeptical of all the 5 star reviews that are on this book. They don't make sense for a bible that is lacking some very basic features.

I think this is the best Bible available on the Kindle store. Thank you Amazon for giving us a Bible that does not cost too much and which allow us to learn and to worship the Lord with his Word.

God bless you.

This is an excellent Bible which is faithful to the King James version. The King James version was a translation of the Greek manuscripts and as such did not rely on capitalizations and italics. Unlike St. Jerome's Vulgate which came from the Latin, the King James attempted to be as faithful as possible to the original texts.

This version is faithful to the King James version, and I have compared line by line.

This is a great bargain, and it should belong on the bookshelf (kindleshelf?) of every Christian. For $0.99 you can't really lose. This is the real King James Version, and the table of contents works!

This was a very good bargain. I saw a program on PBS about the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible and so I decided to actually sit down and star reading it. I was more than impressed by the words, they are truly profound and as moving as anything I have read in my adult life. This is a very good value, and browsing is very easy to do with this volume.
