I'll say up front that the devotional content is mediocre and stuck at the end of the ebook as a kind of afterthought. This edition excites me, though, because Zondervan KJV texts include the original translators' footnotes and I haven't noticed one on sale before. Most other KJV editions lack footnotes entirely unless they're "study Bibles", but I'm not aware of even study editions with the original notes.
. . . .
Now if someone would publish an ASV or RV ebook with original footnotes...
Very good job noticing the fact about the translators' notes being in the Busy Mom's Bible study Bible.

It appears to me that the copy of the ASV (American Standard Version) published in 1901 by Thomas Nelson, located at https://archive.org/details/holybible00newy, is using the translators' notes on the readings of manuscripts, and using their cross references and even their topical headings. They do not appear to be Thomas Nelson's proprietary notes. If you go to the webpage for this book (Bible), read pages viii-ix of the general Preface and page v of the Preface to the New Testament. Then, go to a random passage in the New Testament part and see if the notes correspond to what the Prefaces say about the translators' references. It seems very likely to me that they do.

As far as this being "published" is concerned, this edition is certainly out-of-print in the dead tree form. Possibly (I haven't checked to see) you could find it on the used book market. Bookfinder is a great place to do a used book search.

I haven't done any searching about the RV (Revised Version) yet. With it being published in the 1950's though, the RV is not in the public domain. So, I won't be able to find it online to be able to check to see if some edition of the RV by a publisher did have the translators' notes. Same problem with finding online another book which maybe didn't print the biblical text of the RV, but did print the translators' notes.
