Kindle Bible (KJV) (best navigation with Direct Verse Jump; paragraphed) Review

I love this bible. It is so easy to jump directly to any verse in the bible. The text-to-speech doesn't work very well because it's constantly reading numbers -- however OSNOVA has solved that problem by creating a version of this bible without any of the verses, navigation, etc. However, I don't think I will purchase it until Amazon updates their firmware to incorporate a way for Kindle developers to skip over notations, add pauses, etc so works of this nature can be enjoyed audibly and have the great navigational functionality.

The only problem: I just got this bible, so I haven't memorized all of the books. While some of them are obvious, not all of them are. So, I made a cheat sheet with all of the books plus their short codes that's just a tad larger than 4x6 when printed. As long as all of OSNOVA's bibles use the same short codes, you can use it for any of them. You can download it for free here: [...]

Kindle Bible (KJV) (best navigation with Direct Verse Jump; paragraphed) Overview

Kindle 3 owners, read the note at the very bottom.

Features of this version of the KJV Bible that has the same text as your paper copy:

– Direct Verse Jump, a revolutionary new method to open the exact verse you need in mere seconds (see below)
– two other ways to navigate between books and chapters: (i) using a hyperlinked table of contents; and (ii) pressing the joystick right or left to move between books of the Bible. Once you learn all of the three navigation methods, you will be able to open any verse in your Kindle Bible as fast as (or even faster than) in your paper copy
– The text of this electronic edition is painstakingly verified to be true to the KJV paper editions (no typos, no OCR errors)
– correctly formatted (i.e., true formatting of the original KJV – italics, small caps in LORD, etc.)
– includes original KJV translators’ notes
– original text, notes, book titles carefully preserved (for example, see the notes at the end of the Paul's epistles, which are found in the original KJV, look at Ps. 119)
– easy to determine where you are in the Bible
– Jesus’ words are in bold
– the text is broken into paragraphs for cohesion of the text (if you prefer the traditional verse-per-line format please purchase the KJV publication B002TG4P8Q from OSNOVA)
– as any Kindle book, the KJV Bible is searchable; however, when you first install the file please wait for the Kindle to index the whole Bible (about 10 minutes). The file is large and it takes a long time to index. For this reason, the DVJ navigation method will be available only after the book has been indexed

Direct Verse Jump: new navigation method using the search functionality:

In this version, all you need to do is type an abbreviated book name (see the table of contents for the complete list), then period, then chapter number, period again, and then verse number and finally press “find” twice (you need not wait for the Kindle to display the search results) and you will be looking at that particular verse in seconds. If you just need to open the first verse of any chapter then the verse number is not necessary. Do not forget periods and use only the abbreviations that are listed in the table of contents.

For example, if you wish to select chapter 3 of Genesis, you would:
1. type the standard abbreviation for Genesis (see the table of contents for a complete list), then period, and finally number "3" in other words: ge.3
2. click “find” twice and you are there.

For John 3:16, you type "jn.3.16" and double click “find”.

Note that you should put the chapter number even for books that have only one chapter. For example, the Epistle from Jude verse 5 would translate to "jud.1.5" and a double click.

Please note that this edition is not TTS(text-to-speech)-friendly due to the way TTS works on the Kindle. If you would like a TTS-friendly edition of the KJV, please purchase another KJV publication from OSNOVA ASIN B0032JSL84.

For other publications by OSNOVA, please visit the OSNOVA Press website at http://osnovapress.wordpress.com/

Note: DVJ works differently on the Kindle 3. You may enter the abbreviation without periods (for example, "jn316"), press enter once and choose the right passage.

If you have any questions or concerns at all about this (or any other of my publications), please email me at osnova@gmail.com

Customer Reviews

Not what I expected - Kathleen A. Cronin - boston
I purchased this because of the reviews on its navigation, but what I found for myself that I do not like is that it navigates only to the verse you are looking for. It will not show the context or let you read preceding or following verses! I could not find this out from the sample either, I had to buy it.

Top Kindle Bible. I love it!! Easy to use. - Bythesquare -
This one is great. I had downloaded a few others, but none of them made it easy to get to a verse. With this one you just type jn.3.16 and you are sent right to John 3:16. So when you are in Church and your Pastor is quoting scripture, you can easily find it without having to fumble through the bible trying to find the one certain spot. It allows me to listen more and have what I need right in front of me. Also the "my clippings" is great for highlighting those special passages. I would recommend this to everyone. I'm all about free books, but this one is worth paying for. You won't regret it.

Not for the IPad - Patspath -
The Navigation with Direct Verse Jump does not work with the IPad. That really Is a huge dissapointment. The only way to navigate is to go to the front table of contents & look up Book, Chapter & Verse, then touch to go there. slow & cumberson. If I had known I would not have bought, but with iTunes, it is hard to get customer service. I written several e-mails, & the answer I got was that it did not work with the IPad.. That's it, no options, no apologies, no compensation, just it doesn't work with IPad. It's nice to have the bible on my iPad, but I sure wish it had a search
