FIRST, EVEN THOUGH I'M 59, I CONSIDER MYSELF A STUDENT. FROM WHAT I COULD SEE (I'LL SAY MORE LATER), IT IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BIBLE. IT'S A GOOD PRICE AND SEEMS EASY TO USE. SECOND, IT HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS. FOR ONE THING, I HAVE VISUAL PROBLEMS AND REALLY NEEDED AN AUDIO VERSION. THE LISTING DOESN'T SAY WHAT VERSION IT IS. THE PRINT IS NOT DARK ENOUGH AGAINST THE BACKROUND TO BE EASILY READ. THE MOST IMPORTANT OMMISSION FROM THE DESCRIPTION WAS THAT IT'S INCOMPATIBLE WITH VISTA AND WITH ANY ADOBE READER OTHER THAN #7 (EVEN A HIGHER VERSION). DESPITE MY EFFORTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I ENDED UP GIVING IT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

This study bible is nothing more than a PDF version of the print NRSV-CE, with a few maps and some reflections (one per day, not the seven daily that the product description seems to imply--"a week's worth of reflections daily"). It uses Adobe Acrobat, not the friendliest format, and any navigation has to be done by clicking back to the menu. It would likely be faster to look up passages in the actual (print) bible. Fairly unimpressive for the price.
