Correct, using jn.3.16 on the home page gets references in all 2 of my bibles and the MH Commentary. If I leave out the periods, I don't get the MH Commentary.
I did delete the KJV and then redownloaded it from Amazon. It still had the structure of allowing selections without the periods. However, I think its an advantage to speed locations anyway not to use the periods so I'm leaving them the way they are now. That is especially true if we make a mistake in the key punch and have to delete a letter and redo the keypunch. Deleting periods would extend the time required for that process.
So far I find it very rare that omitting the period picks up more than one reference. When the extra references are picked up, they provide an informal table of contents for a Bible chapter which also can be useful in jumping around a chapter and using the back button to enable that process.
I may change my mind on that as I use this feature over time.
As of today my Kindle 3 Hard Disk is as follows:
Kindle hard disk: 3.05 Gb total; 2.746 Gb free
Books sizes:
Matthew Henry Commentary: 27.7 Mb
Bible Encyclopedia: 18.5 Mb
New English Translation: 13.8 Mb
King James Version: 2.3 Mb
One Year Bible: 3.7 Mb
First Tycoon: 4.7 Mb (many pictures)
Deliver Us from Evil: 1.4 Mb
There is plenty of room left for a lot of books.
The Matthew Henry Commentary did take an overnight indexing session while plugged into the main to supply adequate current for the process. That technique could come in hand if I buy encyclopedias in the future.
