NIV Study Bible

Needs to be more user friendly

It's very difficult to find where you want to be as there are no references along the bottom. Not easy to get to where you want to go.

Also, I was unable to find a way to highlight and take notes.

Disaapointed with product.

The study Bible itself is great, but it is specifically the eboo

The study Bible itself is great, but it is specifically the ebook I am reviewing here. And the ebook is pretty bad. First, and this is the smallest complaint, it does not actually have red letters for the words of Jesus! Second, it is very slow. It is slow to load, and slow to switch between links. It frequently locks up and needs to be restarted. The search function goes by page number and not chapter/verse. Navigation is a pain in the butt. It reads fine, flipping from page to page, but you don't get a study Bible just to read. You get it to keep flipping back and forth between the verse, notes and references. And this is so slow it is almost useless for that.

NOT USER FRIENDLY!

I would have given this zero stars, but I couldn't! This Bible is VERY difficult to use! The New Testament is SO far down the contents that invariably I tap another book I didn't mean to open and then have to wait for it to upload, go back to contents and try to scroll thru all over again to find the book I'm looking for. Don't waste your money on this one. I hate to say that about a Bible, but this is a rip off!

Does not work!

I was very disappointed in the e-version of the NIV Study Bible. It would not load and hosed up my entire NOOK. The customer service rep at the B&N store in my city tried to help me, but was unable to resolve the issues. Online chat help and phone calls to Customer Service were an exercise in frustration. All they wanted to do was have me delete, reload, revamp my entire NOOK setup - on and on - I finally just had to demand that they remove it and reimburse me for it. I found out that there are multiple problems with study Bibles because they are difficult to configure for electronic devices. My advice - buy a print Bible!!

This is a digrace to the Lord

FIRST OF ALL THIS DESERVES NOT 1 SINGLE STAR! This will not open, and automaticly locks me out. I hate to say this about the bible but it is the plain truth. It is a waste of money and tech support didnt help. My advise to you is GET A PAPER BIBLE!!!

Navigation needs work / not red letter

The Bible is okay and not that hard to get around, but it could be MUCH better. Not sure who designs these books, but obviously someone didn't really think this through well. On the other hand, not horrible, hence the rating of "3" which refers to the digital version not the NIV Study Bible itself which I enjoy. (Well, after writing this review I just realized how bad some of these issues are and dropped it to a "2.") 1)Navigation is done by scrolling down the books of the Bible until you touch the one you want. Obviously, this can be a lot of scrolling and if your finger fumbles you can end up somewhere you don't want to go. Several sections are provided that you can click on to help. "The Books of Moses, OT, NT etc). 2)Navigation bar at the bottom of the screen goes by page (really? why not add something so the book you are at would show up here? Much more useful). 3)Access to study notes is not great and don't show up well as they are in the same font and color as the text. Many study notes are one to a page (one or two lines total!) --why not have a number of them on a single page as the reader is often interested in notes for surrounding verses as well. 4) No "back" function so you can easily go back to the prior page you were on. (Often a "back" button initially appears at the top of the page, but disappears after a few seconds and I haven't found a way to get it back. So if you make a mistake and immediately recognize this it might be helpful) If you click on notes and follow them through to cross references you often have to go back to the menu to get back to where you started. 5) No red letters at all in this "red letter" edition. Really? Why label the edition "red letter"? 6) Maps could be much better. No ability to zoom in on maps on my nook although the notes say "on some devices you might be able to zoom". If this edition was created for the nook, why was this feature not provided? They are quite small and hard to read. One teeny tiny whole map is provided and then blow-ups are given broken across several pages. Zoom is a must here and would have been MUCH better! 7) Not all blue color, presumably "clickable" text works. 8) Quite a bit disappointed, I must admit. I had expected better.
