The World English Bible with the Direct Verse Jump is now online at
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VWKFJ6 ========== WT Sharpe is right. I can only work with public domain versions or at the direction/authorization of copyright holders. I am not sure if Zondervan or some other copyright holder for a modern translation would be interested in working with me. I was lucky that the NET Bible team wanted to work with me. |

You might want to give it a shot; the worst they could do is turn you down. Your Direct Verse Jump navigation is the best I've seen for an eBook Bible. |

Osnova - again a superb job on this. May I recommend that you format the KJV text into actual paragraphs like you have the WEB Bible? That may be a huge undertaking provided what you have to work with from the start.

That's a good suggestion. My only concern would be whether people would object to such a change because it would "look" different from their paper copy. Some folks are very particular about their KJVs.
By the way, thanks for your feedback on Amazon. I also think that this version is the best KJV for Kindle, and I welcome any suggestions for improvements. Last edited by osnova; 11-10-2009 at 03:26 PM. |

My thinking is that this is on a EBOOK READER and would benefit from the formatting to make it more pleasurable to read, I can't really see doing any real studying on it. The direct verse jump is nice but the features of your work that I appreciate most is the correct formatting, italics and such. The addition of "red lettering" would be nice too, although for a b&w ereader perhaps underline or bold would be more in order. BTW: With Kindle for the PC available this ebook can now be purchased without a Kindle reading device and despite being in the AZW format is not DRM'd and can be converted with Calibre. It works and looks just fine as an ePub - at least on the Calibre viewer. |

Would you mind sending me in private the ePub that you have? I'll see if I can do better from the original sources, instead of the conversion of a conversion. Last edited by osnova; 11-24-2009 at 02:06 PM. |

I posted this is another thread:
Does anyone know if a parallel Bible is available on the Kindle? If not, how do we go about getting one created? |

So far, I have published four Bible translations for the Kindle with my Direct Verse Jump navigation method: three English translations and one Chinese. Each one is a high quality edition (well, I can't guarantee the quality of the Chinese text because I cannot read it but the formatting and navigation are excellent).
Currently, I am working on the Douay Rheims Bible, which is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate. Unfortunately, the available text sources for D-R all contain innumerable typos and OCR errors (this is also true for all Douay Rheims editions currently available in the Kindle Store). I am proofreading the sources that I have (so far I've done about 1/3 of the OT) and will release it when it is ready. I have contacted copyright holders/ publishers for some popular modern translations to see if they would be willing to cooperate with me in bringing the Direct Verse Jump navigation to their translations. I'll let you know if I hear from them. I also plan to publish other non-English translations (Russian, Ukrainian, French, etc.) I am also working on Bible dictionaries and encyclopedias. If you want to see my publications all in one place, read additional information about DVJ and follow the developments, please visit my newly created website OSNOVA Press I have also gathered there all the comments and feedback that I receive from people on various forums. |

Oh, I forgot to mention that the WEB Bible and some of my dictionaries are on Christmas sale for $0.99.

Sure, fire it at me at the same email address that I sent you the EPUB the other day.
Thanks! |

You are welcome. Would you mind giving your feedback on Amazon? My edition of the WEB has no feedback so far.

Rootman and everybody else who likes a paragraphed Bible text (in contrast to the traditional verse-per-line), you may purchase the paragraphed KJV with Direct Verse Jump at the following address:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030T1DPY Note that the only difference between this new paragraphed KJV (with DVJ) and the traditional verse-per-line KJV (with DVJ) found at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002TG4P8Q is the way the text is formatted (paragraphs versus verse-per-line). Please do not purchase this new version if you like the traditional verse-per-line or if you do not think the formatting is important. |

I will, but I haven't got my Kindle yet. I have Kindle for PC to check it out, but I want to use all the features.
