He undercuts my sales price. His sales are closing in on mine.

I do not try to monopolize the Bible and welcome efforts of others to make it more available and easier to use, but in this case it seems he just has taken my work and passes it off as his own. The text is public domain and there are lots of alternative KJV and ASV editions for the Kindle but I spent many months to come up with a better edition and better navigation system.

I don't know...
Check with a lawyer. The workman is worthy of his hire. Thieves are not.

I just submitted the following review at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...r_mts_prod_img. It should show up within a couple of days, unless it is censored by Amazon:

Title: Things that make you go Hmmmm...

Body text: This product sounds suspiciously similar to the older King James Bible (KJV) (best navigation with Direct Verse Jump; paragraphed) [Kindle Edition] by God-inspired.
