It has the largest library of printed and electronic support material of any modern translation. The translation itself strikes a balance between a word-for-word and thought-for-thought philosophy, for the best representation of the intent of the original languages in today's language. The translators' mission was to "produce an accurate translation, suitable for public and private reading, teaching, preaching, memorizing, and liturgical use." It is the world's best-selling modern translation, with over 150 million copies in print since its first full publication in 1978. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The NIV is not a Bible just for dummiesThe New International Version is the most readable English translation ever produced. And if that doesn't make it a "Good Book," then I don't know what does! Granted, I still prefer to read God's Word in the original tongues, not in a modern translation. (I've got nothing against the watered-down English versions sold today in Bible bookstores, but the ancient biblical scrolls are just a whole lot funnier.) Most people these days cannot do that: they cannot read Scripture ... Read More Rating:  - quick conversionThe NIV Study Bible is my favorite so of course I wanted it for my Kindle, otherwise what's the point of having a Kindle? This is not to rate the NIV Bible but the Kindle version. They appeared to be in a hurry. Having transferred a few books and articles myself I can see so many things they could have done to make it better, actually more useful. The only navagation is the table of contents that lists each of the books. Once you have navigated to a book there is a list of links to each ... Read More Rating: - Happy with this bible version, and with Kindle ebook formattingI really like this Kindle version of the bible. The navigation is good. You can click on the book title, and it takes you directly to a chapter list, which you can narrow down. The formatting is nice as well. The chapter titles appear as a super-script, and the paragraphs are indented appropriately. One nice feature which could be added would be to have the words of Jesus underlined. As it is, they are in lighter gray font, and a little difficult to distinguish from the regular text. Read More Rating:  - OK for the Kindle - with one big exceptionThis review will simply address the mechanics of this version of the Holy Bible in regards to the Kindle. I will refrain from any comments regarding the nature of the translation, leaving that for those far more learned than myself. I have downloaded several versions of the Holy Bible and I am pretty pleased with this one. The Table of Contents is easy to access. The individual books listed are centered and run down the middle of the page. After selecting a book, you are taken to that ... Read More Rating: - Great Kindle-edition Bible!I think this is a great Bible for the Kindle. It is almost perfect with maybe just a couple of tweeks. I find it quick and easy to navigate to just about anywhere in the Bible (except for the New Testament, which I'll explain later). Simply go to the Table of Contents, page/scroll to the book of the Bible you are looking for and click on it. This will open up to the first chapter of that book, at the top will be a list of verse numbers, click on the line that has your the verse # you are looking for, ... Read More
