I would not recommend the WOWBible for the reasons given below:
I've been a daily user of the GoBible since September 2008.
I bought a new WowBible in June 2009. I was very excited when I read it features but my excitement was followed by disapointment after one month of ownership.

Comments on the WOWBible
I would not recommend the WOWBible for the reasons given below:
I've been a daily user of the GoBible since September 2008.
I bought a new WowBible in June 2009. I was very excited when I read it features but my excitement was followed by disapointment after one month of ownership.
The WOWBible Lacks a key-lock feature to prevent accidental interruption of operation. Unlike the GoBible that has a key-lock feature to prevent accidental interruption of your listening.
Thw WOWBible has poor battery life when compared to the GoBible. You can get about 6-7 hours (normal scriptural reading and listening) then you have to recharge, or you can keep it plug into the power source (USB or AC) if you are close to it. I can get more than 24 hours continuous use from my GoBible depending on the capacity of the AAA battery I am using, and I always have additional spare rechargeable AAA batteries.
There is no feature that remembers where you left off from your last audio listening or scriptural reading session. Unlike the GoBible that take you back to where you left off.
The book mark feature takes you back to the marked verse, but it does not allow you to continue through the remaining portion of the scripture. It marks only that verse, then it stops at the end of that verse and you have to manually search for the book, chapter and verse where you were. I dislike this so very much. Also if you try to go forward, it will take you to the next book marked item.
Each time you turn on the WOWBible its like starting over for the first time, you have to manually select the book, chapter and verse, and it does not pick up from where you last ended your scriptural study.
I like the features that allows you to add music file, voice notes and other recordings and give them specific file names.
The volume control on the WOWBible does not work when you play back a recorded message, so you hear your recorded message at an unpredictable level over which you have no control. You will have to depend on an external volume control (external speakers or head sets with a volume control) to lower the volume on your recorded files.
The WOWBible has good coordination between the audio and written scriptures. So you can read and listen at the same time. This works well if you don't increase the text size and if the particular verse fits on the screen. If you increase the text size of what you are reading and it cannot all fit on the screen you will have to manually scroll to the next page to read and keep up with the audio reading.
The WOWBible can only perform one function at a time. You cannot read and/or listen to scriptures and use another feature at the same time. It will end whatever feature you are using to begin use of the new function.
All the PDA information has to be manually inputted from the WOWBible keypad. Not a very flexible PDA.
I like the exam feature to test scriptural knowledge. However, the exam questions are presented in a random manner. For example, if you go to the exam in the book of Ruth, the questions appear in a random manner and it jumps to different books of the bible. I don't like this. If I am studying Ruth then it should at least stay in the book of Ruth, and not take me to Exodus or some other book.
I like the back-lit feature. You can read when the lights are dimmed in church or in a darkened room or if you are a passenger in a vehicle.
I like the built in speaker. It is clear and understandable, and is very handy when I am relaxing alone and don't want to use a headset.
When listening to the scriptures, you cannot control the volume using the control buttons, you have to use the stylus and tap the +/- to control the volume. Not very convienent when driving and listening through the built-in speaker (not convient at all). You can control the volume of music using the control buttons and the stylus.
I like the dictionary function.
I like the ability to load music, pictures, movies and ebooks on the WOWBible. I have not personally loaded any movies or ebooks, so I cannot comment on how these features work at this time.
I would not recommend the WOWBible. Its greatest feature is that you can read and listen to the scriptures. All other features seems to need some refinements. It is a good start, but I think many refinements are needed to make it suitable for what a potential user is expecting from the features described, at its listed price. I am not happy and with my WOWBible and I am still happy with my GoBible.
From what I have read the new NOWBible appears to be an improvement over the WOWBible. I don't know if which if any of the shortfalls that I dislike above have been addressed in the NOWBible.

I purchased this wow bible and oh my goodness how did I not have this much earlier. This little bible is a powerhouse. I can drive now and listen to the Word of God while I'm driving.Sometimes I don't get a chance to have my devotion and read the word early in the morning. Well this wow bible put a stop to that because now I can listen to it while I'm driving to work. I took it on a trip with me on the plane and it was the best thing I could have done. Had a problem at first but when you contact the company they get to you right away and they solve the problem. I can't live without my wow bible. It's a must have.
