I am happy to report that ESV has done it. They integrated the DVJ-2 (keeping the DVJ book abbreviations!) and 5-way controller moves between books OR chapters (I didn't advertise this new feature that was quietly rolled out in December or January, the idea was suggested to me by a customer) into the ESV Study Bible! Please note that I am not associated with Crossway or ESV. I did not help them with the inclusion of DVJ-2 into ESV Bibles. They just like my idea and had it incorporated in their Bibles.

They call it "Direct Access to Any Verse."

It was at my nudging but without my help. I am happy. Please read the announcement and my comment here (UPDATE: Crossway deleted the announcement on Amazon but included it in the product description).

Here is their description of the navigation aids for the ESV Study Bible:

Moving the 5-Way Controller to the right or left when viewing the Bible text will move to the next or previous chapter; when viewing the opening page of a book, it will move to the next or previous book; and when viewing an article, it will move to the next or previous heading.

Direct Access to Any Verse

To gain direct access to any verse in the ESV Bible:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Select Index.
3. Type the two- or three-character abbreviation for the desired book, followed by a space. Use the exact book abbreviations below OSNOVA:basically DVJ abbreviations.
4. Type the chapter number, followed by a space, and the verse number. OSNOVA: They decided to omit the chapter numbers for Obadiah, Philemon, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude, which is different from me because they don't have to be compatible with DVJ-1; and DVJ-2 gives a hint that you don't have to enter the chapter number. (Oops. they say so but actually it is implemented exactly the same way as in OSNOVA Bibles -- you need the chapter number)
5 Press Enter.

OSNOVA: They also did the DVJ-2 links to the book's top (e.g., jn) and the chapters (e.g., jn 3), which for some reason I left out. (Oops. they say so but actually it is not implemented)

So, it is good news for those who wanted to have DVJ-2 on ESV. I guess they decided that DVJ-1 is not worth it because of the Kindle search bugs, the gaps in the text that it creates and the software Kindles not being able to properly handle the color tags. However, this omission makes it impossible to search multiple Bibles from the Home screen.

CHANGED: the updating instructions provided by them do not work for now.
