Two caveats (some would say, "drawbacks," "catches," or even "gotcha"). I didn't see a place where this was noted, but I feel sure that the Bible text is the (HCS/HCSB) Holman Christian Standard, since Holman is the publisher of this study Bible and that's kinda how they've done things in similar situations in the past. Not a big deal, in my opinion, however, as from what little that I've been around it, the version seems to be of high quality (mainly meaning having accuracy and readability).
The other drawback concerns the fact that this volume covers only the Old Testament portion of the Bible. The study Bible seems to be complete for the Old and New Testaments--Amazon's got the New Testament portion, in the dead-tree, hardcover format. But, they appear not to have a digital version available for the New Testament. Perhaps that will come along before very long.

Thanks for finding this. I took a quick look through and have a few observations:
- The quoted Bible text does indeed match the HCSB, but there's not much quoted text. It shouldn't distract anyone from reading this with their favorite translation.
- The epub doesn't have a cover image. A lot of B&H ebooks lately have been lacking covers. It's not a big deal, but it bugs me.
- The epub uses several characters for transliterating Hebrew that aren't in all fonts (ʿēzer appears as ??zer in ADE). If you can use downloaded fonts with your ereader, you may want to use a more complete one like GNU Freefont or SIL Gentium Plus.
