I am not going to add to the many positive comments on the content already posted except to note that I agree with most of them. I want to post some comments on the Kindle version since I have not seen many reviews of it.
The Kindle version is the same text as the second edition print copy. I had initially bought the Kindle copy in March 2012 but had to return it because it did not contain "real page numbers" even though it was advertised at that time that it did. I needed the page numbers to read the original text from citations to this text found in papers. When I saw it 2 months later in May 2012 with page numbers advertised, I was both a little annoyed and curious. If they had not changed the advert since the last time I bought it, I would post a complaint and at the same time I really wanted an electronic copy to ease my reference work. And as it turns out, it did have page numbers that match the printed version, in addition to the silly Kindle location number scheme. Now it is truly a great reference text.
So on with the review of the Kindle edition, the text in electronic form contains all the Greek, Hebrew and transliteration fonts reasonably accurately displayed, although I have not figured out a way to search for them or even select them individually on my reader. If you copy a portion of text with these fonts in them, they will simply not appear when you paste them elsewhere. The diagrams are accurately rendered but was not "zoomable" in the Android Kindle reader, although it can be done with the IPod Kindle reader. The overall appearance in the various readers is very close to the printed text. I have a copy of it for comparison.
I love the electronic edition because I can now copy and paste references for my work and search the text for relevant material easily. I can make notes, bookmark and hi lite. Best part of all this is that it is available on my kindle, IPod and PC, I only wish I had my original notes from the margins of the print copy here as well. I have mentioned some cons already but the biggest feature lacking is the lack of hyper linked bible verses. Some of these are Kindle reader issues but that is another matter to be raised elsewhere.
In this Kindle edition, we now have a great and useable reference resource.
