Since it is related to this post I thoug...Timothy,<br /><br />Since it is related to this post I thought I would post a comment I sent to the USCCB via their website. It is in regards to the e-reader version of the NABRE. It reads as follows:<br /><br />To Whom It May Concern,<br /><br />I recently purchased a copy of the NABRE on the Barnes and Noble Nook e-reader device. As statistics are showing, more and more people are reading via electronic devices, and because of this I thought it was important to raise my concerns about the NABRE e-reader edition. As a lay minister, currently to undergraduate college students in the Roman Catholic church, I am very interested in the use of technology to reach our students. While personally I prefer to read the scriptures using a traditional printed book I decided to experience it in the e-reader formant, and immediately I was troubled. Though neither of these concerns are of grave significance I do believe they are important, because they may impact one's experience and understanding of the holy scriptures.<br /><br />My two basic concerns are as follows:<br />(1) The exegetical notes and cross-references are placed at the end of each chapter rather than at the end of each biblical book. In the very least this creates a very choppy reading experience, but my concerns go further. Because of the placement of the notes the books of the bible do not read as unified entities, but as segregated pieces (The worst example of this is the ending of Genesis 7 and beginning of Gen. 8 which is actually the same sentence). Placing the notes between the chapters gives too much emphasis to the division of the text (the current chapter verse system being a much later creation) rather than their inherent unity.<br /><br />(2) In the e-reader edition, the headings of sections are not placed in bold nor are they separated from the biblical text. Even for someone like myself who is familiar with the biblical text, it can be hard to differentiate the two. My fear is that this could lead the less educated reader to assume these heading are a part of the actual text, which would be most unfortunate.<br /><br />Thank you for listening to my concerns.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />AdamAdamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-64362379988855038122011-11-02T13:44:31.080-07:002011-11-02T13:44:31.080-07:00Michael,

We believe the Kindle conversion of this Bible is the best on the Kindle platform. The edition has received the approval from the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

It comes in either burgundy or black-tan "leather" covers. <br /><br />link:<br />http://www.amazon.com/New-Catholic-Answer-Bible-NABRE-Librosario-Burgundy/dp/1556654103/ref=tmm_hrd_title_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305340247&sr=8-6<br /><br />What I like about it is that it appeared to be large print. Unfortunately, there is no review for it yet at amazon.<br /><br />Another thing. Who publishes that bible? FIreside or Our Sunday Visitor- not that it matters but I just want to get the right information since earlier in this blog someone mentioned it to be published by OSV.<br /><br />Thanks and God Bless!<br /><br />bible-reader405Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-78733288482282338642011-01-12T19:13:15.354-08:002011-01-12T19:13:15.354-08:00I am very pleased to hear about the LRSB -- I like...I am very pleased to hear about the LRSB -- I like the edition of the Gospels very much, and if the entire Bible is produced with such helps, it will be a very formidable study edition. I am also pleased to hear about the St. Benedict Press editions. I am for the most part very impressed with the SBP editions of the various Catholic translations. I could definitely see pairing a complete RSV or NRSV study Bible with an SBP edition of the NABRE, or pairing the LRSB with the NABRE with one of the RSVCE editions from SBP.Mark D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05000893614655251587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-74330471646750608492011-01-12T13:52:59.209-08:002011-01-12T13:52:59.209-08:00Colleague,
