Just in at the Connect Store: The NIV Bible!
For those who have commented over the last ~10 months about the absence of the Bible from the ConnStore's listings, wonder no more -- they have added an NIV translation of the Bible to their offerings. I don't know how long it's been there, but there it is: http://ebooks.connect.com/product/40...000050202.html

Got it, Thanks! I just wrote them yesterday asking for this. I'm sure that's not why it is there but I am thankful.

Hey, you never know, edbro -- we've asked them for it before (some directly, some just ranting here), maybe you were the one who tipped the balance.

Okay, initial impressions:
a. Navigation is pretty good. All books and individual chapters are hyperlinked. The notes are also hyperlinked but, after jumping to a note, I don't see a way to resume back to the text you were reading. b. Slow! I guess that's to be expected with a nearly 10MB book. |

Try using the back button (left arrow) to go back.

I found the label on that link quite amusing too, Bob.

Now I know what I'm getting with the next chunk of my credit...
Though I wonder if NRSV would be coming (I prefer NRSV over NIV, but that's just me.) But I'll give it a shot anyway. |

Connect adds NIV Holy Bible
This was not listed yesterday, when I purchased a book.
Has anyone had a chance to look at this, and to see what links (if any) exist? Don Last edited by JSWolf; 08-14-2007 at 10:31 PM. Reason: merged cause it really belongs here |

....but does anyone own Connect's version? I'm very curious about the links (if any) and how they re introduced into the body of the text, in addition to the ToC. Don ADDED: Since my post was moved, I was able to read the other posts/comments. |

In that link I mentioned that I purchased the Connect version and I gave a mini-review:

The way to navigate back is to hit history back and you'll go back.
