Not a particularly long book... in relation to the whole Bible! But in relation to the majority of books published today? I'd call it a very long book. Especially if was charged with re-paragraphing the darned thing!

The solution is simple, NASB/NIV need to release electronic versions with paragraphs. Their print versions have them. I'm not sure why they think people prefer the e-book version to NOT have them. E-Books are still for PEOPLE to read, not COMPUTERS, after all!

The absolute worse Bible I've ever seen in this regard is Gutenberg's "New EText of Bible" KJV 1.3... download for a laugh, becuase it sure as heck ain't good for anything else! (Unless you're a computer.)

Once again, the ebible.org version does have the paragraphs in the LRF version. That's one of its major strengths.
