5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Bible!, January 7, 2009

By	Eric - See all my reviews

Great Electronic bible, I originally purchased the Franklin HBD-1450 which is similar to this one but is smaller with a smaller display. It worked well and the functions were great but the display was hard to see. My vision is very good but the display didn't have a back light, the display is very small and the covering was not anti-glare. So I purchased the BIB-475, reluctantly because of the other review saying it could be problematic. But after much research, this one seemed to be the one that best suited me. To my delight it works flawlessly, has all the same functions as the HBD-1450 plus more , nice size screen, backlight, and a KJV as well as the NIV & Dictionary. When the cover is shut it's about 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches and it looks like a little hard back bible book. It's big enough to see the screen yet small enough to put in your pocket, Perfect!

1.0 out of 5 stars Quality problems, September 24, 2008

By	lew "lwndw123" (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews

This is 6 stars product that gets 1 star because of manufacturing quality problems.

First unit had problems with up/down/right/left key. It was ncessary to use force to make this key working, and usually it was necessary to press it many times to have the effect. I returned this unit the same day I got it and saked for replacement

Second unit had problems with screen backlit - light was flashing for about a second and vanishing. Moreover, there was something wrong with processor - sometimes it was going into "search forever" mode and the only remedy was to do hard reset. Unit was returned the same day and I asked for refund.

This WOULD be very good product - both versions of Bible, it is possible to switch between them while reading to see both version of the same verse. It is also possible to switch back and forth between Bible and Dictionary, and to find word highlighted in Bilbe directly in the dictionaty. Screen is large with good contrast, and backlit is very helpful. Nice look, looks like a small prayer book.

Unfortunately, with problems as above I will not risk other try.

I am a bit astonished, since I own 5 other products from Franklin, some 20 years old, and I have never had smallest problem. Maybe this is just poor manufacturing batch with quality problems.

I will try again after 6 month

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Electronic Bible, December 21, 2008

By	Frank C. Schipani "Frank Schipani" (White Lake, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am really pleased with my Franklin electronic bible. I've owned other bibles by Franklin and am glad that they've both enlarged the screen and added a backlight. It makes it much more practical to use in church, at events or even reading in bed. The backlight works well and the battery life seems good (I used recharagables AAA batteries). It also conveniently folds up like a book, making it easier to carry.

The only complaint that I have is the lack of a card slot. That would have made it perfect.
