I bought this for my brother for Christmas... and he loves it. He says its smaller than he had expected but he likes the size. It works well and he is looking forward to being able to carry it with him for visitations.

This is so convenient! My bible is falling apart, so I decided to get the Franklin E-Bible to carry. My arms are not able to hold much weight, so this works out perfect. I also carry it in my purse so I always have a reference at hand when someone needs to know something from the Bible.

I have owned two other Franklin NIV Bibles in the last 20 years. Both were gifts. I carried them in my purse and used them almost every day. They were so easy to use. I bought and gave several away and because I really did not need two I gave away the extra one I had and actually kept the oldest of the two though it was a little big. A leaking water bottle destroyed that one just a few months ago. The new one lacks simplicity and therefore speed of use. There is no need for an electronic Bible to be designed to be a calculator, clock and place to store addresses etc. Other devices work much better for those things. In fact there are other devices that work for portable electronic Bible but most require WiFi. Ideal product would have been what Franklin had in the past - just a simple easy to use Bible where any passage, word or topical subject could be looked up in seconds without a tutorial of any kind. Also the shell on this Franklin looks as if it will be easy to scratch and did not come with a protective soft cover of any kind. Unless Franklin makes changes I will not purchase another one for myself or anyone else. Nor will I continue to recommend them.

This is my third electronic Bible. Accidents happened to the first two (my fault) and I hurried to replace the second one beccause it is invaluable in preparing for my Bible studies. Your price is a bargain, too.

I enjoy it because I can take it to work and read the bible when I have time. The only problem I find is that it is a little hard to scroll to the next line at time.

Jesus Calling is a daily devotional I had purchased from Christianbook.com. It has scriptures on the bottom of each daily reading so this electronic Bible is a perfect companion and small enough to carry with you to church.
I highly recommend it to everyone.
God bless!

This thing is very durable and I can take it outside or anywhere! I like the calculator and clock as well as the whole Bible part. It is kind of cool to be able to type in a reference and then while everbody else is still searching, I'm there! People also love asking me if some word is in the Bible and I can use the find function and pull it up in seconds. There is no doubt, if you knew everything this thing could do, you would not hesistate to buy it.

This is a great product that I take with me everywhere I go. Fits in my pocket, easy to read, I love the "FIND" feature when I'm looking for a verse or topic. I bought one for a friend and they love it too.

It is adequate and does a lot of things. It is certainly convenient and is nice to have to be able to search for things when you are out in the field and away from computers and the internet.Still, there is just so much more that it should do and there is no excuse with today's technology. It is as though this was produced 15-20 years ago and no one has bothered to update the technology since then. For example, you can bookmark verses but then you have no way to search inside your "bookmark" file. You just have to scroll through each bookmark to find the one you want. Also, you can not use numbers when inserting notes so if you want to add a note and refer to other scripture, you have to type out the chapter and verse instead of using numbers.Overall, the product is nice but it is disappointing that the manufacturer hasn't made a few changes that would make this product so much better.

I received the bible on time. I have been experimenting use of the bible. The instructions are easy to follow. The bible text is a good size. So far I am very pleased with the product. I had previously purchased the same for my daughter as a christmas gift. She uses it with ease and is well pleased.

I'm just getting acquainted with my Franklin Bible and for the most part appreciating all it's features. But, the one thing negative about it is that I have to reset it continually. Maybe not everytime I use it, but at least 60% of the time I do.
