This Kindle version of "The Douay-Rheims Bible" is special in that it has book and chapter navigation links. In just a few clicks, you can be reading any verse in the bible that you want.
For example, if you wish to select John 3:16, you would:
* go to the "Table of Contents", * click "Forward to New Testament" on the top of the page, * select the book of John, and then * select chapter "3" at the top of the page with the Kindle Select wheel.
You then are reading chapter 3 of John, and can scroll down to verse 16.
Additionally, at the top of each book, you can choose to go to the previous or next books of the bible. You can also go to the "Table of Contents" by selecting "Home".
This Challoner revision has notes embedded inline with the verses of the bible. These notes are generally attributed to Bishop Challoner.
Good resource to have This version of the Bible is very easy to navigate. The search feature of the Kindle makes it a breeze. My only complaint is that commentary is right there in the text; it's not separated by anything to tell you "Scripture stops, comments begin", so it can sometimes be distracting when just trying to read the Bible. Otherwise, this was a good choice!
A Catholic Bible for Kindle This is a well respected Catholic translation that has stood the test of time. The navigation for Kindle is better than any other book I have. The notes included in the text are very good too. It is in "thee, thou, ye" type of English. Some of the sentence structure is awkward at times. Overall I recommend this translation. Being a Catholic Bible in includes all the books of the Bible, just like the original King James did, up until the 19th Century.
Embedded commentary distracts 5 stars for formatting, sure, but I had no idea from the product description or reviews that there is commentary embedded directly into the text. I find it distracting and difficult to do a slow meditative reading of the scripture when there is something other than God's word present within the text - sometimes after every verse. At first I was completely taken aback. I probably have a dozen different bibles and translations (non eBook), including Douay-Rheims, and I've never seen such a thing. But yes, the formatting is absolutely vital for the Kindle.
Excellent Kindle Formatting! I was very happy to see this in the Kindle store. This is the Gutenberg Project's Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, formatted VERY nicely for the Kindle!!! I've been using the version from [...] that is "formatted for Kindle" but isn't really. As another reviewer said, you had to read it straight through, like a novel. These book and chapter navigation links are wonderful and WELL WORTH the price! To the author of this Kindle edition: I see you have formatted a few other public domain books, including the KJV. If you're looking for suggestions about what to do next, please consider formatting the "Lives of the Saints" by Fr. Alban Butler. At the risk of sounding too enthusiastic, you've acquired a very happy customer!
