This review is intended for publication B00158HOOG. When I first used my Kindle, I inadvertently downloaded the wrong KJV. It had no table of contents and to get to the New Testament I had to turn every single page. I wasn't through the first chapter in Genesis when I realized the futility of my task. I began a more thorough search for a Bible that was more "user friendly." This one caught my attention because Diana Mecom, the lady who formatted this version, offered to send a sample of it. I requested it and was pleasantly surprised to receive a personal note from Ms. Mecum which instructed me in how to transfer it from my computer to my Kindle. The sample was ample. It gave me Old and New Testament books to experiment with. I bought it and am delighted with it. I was extremely impressed with Ms. Mecom's kindness and follow-up on this transaction. I highly recommend this version of the greatest story ever told. STLemos

This was the 3rd or 4th purchase I made when I received my Kindle. I was pretty hesitant that the Kindle version of the Holy Bible would be as good of quality as an original paper copy. I took a few minutes to see if I could navigate through the books and chapters with ease. I am pretty critical when it comes to a Bible in terms of what I want and expect. But after a few short minutes of searching through the text, I had forgotten that I was actually reading the Kindle version. It is very impressive. I am enjoying having the Holy Bible at my fingertips. I have given this 5 stars...for the simple reason that I notice nothing different between my Kindle version and my favorite hard copy of the Holy Bible. A perfect addition to my newly expanding Kindle Library.

This review is for book B00158HOOG.
This was one of the easiest books to navigate through that I have ever seen because it emulates the hardcopy. In fact, it's better because I don't have to keep paging and paging to get to where I want to read. Instead, each chapter or individual book is just a click away. This decreases my frustration which increases my enjoyment. Thank you, it's fantastic.

The main problem here, is that there is no Table of Contents in this Kindle Version. On the Yahoo Group Kindle Korner - someone actually took the King James version and made a great and free Kindle version with a TOC. This version has no TOC so finding your way around it, takes forever. You'll have to bookmark each chapter... good luck with that. I simply use this version to do key word lookups. for that it's very useful.

This offers book and chapter navigation - without such an ebook of this size is useless. I have tried a number and this is by far the best and worthy of 5 stars. Also includes a previous and next link on each chapter so you can easily navigate to the next. Great formatting of each page.

I am not a tech savvy individual and I get frustrated having to scroll through many pages to get to the chapter and verse I want to read. Time is a precious commodity, and this kindle version of the King James Bible has just given me more bible reading time! No more endless back and forth scrolling, the navigation is easy-to-use and takes me where I want to go in just a few clicks. I bought Kindle book B00158HOOG.

this edition of an excellent bible has no navigation features so unless you are going to read straight through from Gensis...

Reading the Bible on Kindle is pleasant. The ability to highlight passages and look up words is beneficial. The search feature makes finding a passage easier based on key words.

This is a wonderful book. I like the way the chapters are outlined. The Kindle2 makes it easy to look up a specific topic with the search option.

There are much better KJV's out there. This one stinks. It looks as if it was hurried to get it on the Kindle quickly.

There are spelling errors, omissions, and navigational problems.

If you want to know about the spelling errors or omissions, read the other comments about those. I'd rather not repeat it. As for the navigational issues, it had little thought put into it. Just a very basic nav structure to get you from chapter to chapter. That said, works just o.k. on the Kindle, but useless on Kindle for iPhone or PC.

When reading on Kindle for iPhone or Kindle for PC, you can not turn pages. Turing pages actually skips to the next chapter. Thus useless on anything but the Kindle.

Pay a little more and get a quality product.
