The main difference is that the 1977 edition retained the King James style in statements directed to God and these were changed to modern English in 1995.
Compare Psalm 3 in the
1977 edition and
1995 edition.
The original ebooks from Lockman are pretty bad. Neither include the translators' notes and the formatting is pretty poor. There's a
newer edition at Amazon that includes the notes, but I haven't looked at it, since it's not available in epub. Thomas Nelson's study Bible editions are fine, though.
