Just to let everybody know that I have sent to Amazon for publication in the Kindle store the World English Bible (see www.eBible.org) It usually takes some time for them to review and release the submission. I'll let you know when I receive the link.

More details on this edition that I've put in the product description:

The World English Bible is modern English translation of the Bible based on the 1901 American Standard Version, the Greek Majority Text, and the Hebrew Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia.

This Kindle edition of the World English Bible features, in addition to a hyperlinked table of contents, the Direct Verse Jump, a revolutionary new method of Bible navigation on the Kindle. The DVJ allows the reader to open any verse in the Bible directly in mere seconds. For example, "jn.3.16" in the search window and two clicks on "Find" opens John 3:16. The abbreviations used in the DVJ are listed in TOC for easy reference. Chapter numbers are required even for books that have only one chapter. For example, the Epistle of Jude verse 5 translates to jud.1.5 and two clicks on “Find.” On the other hand, to open the first verse of any chapter the verse number is not necessary.

The reader can also navigate between Bible books by pressing the joystick right or left. After some practice with the three navigation methods, the reader will be able to open any verse in the Kindle WEB Bible as fast as (or even faster than) in the paper copy.

Other features of the Kindle World English Bible:

– all of the WEB notes and cross-references linked to the main text (all you need is to click on the hyperlinks in the text and, when finished reading the note, to press “Back” to return to the Bible text)
– correctly formatted (for example, special poetry formatting, italics, etc.)
– words of Jesus in bold
– as any Kindle book, the WEB is searchable; however, when you first install the file please wait for the Kindle to index the whole Bible! The file is very large and it takes a long time to index. For this reason, the DVJ navigation method will be available only after the book has been indexed.
