Review: Less Than User-Friendly Navigation...

Regardless of your preferred translation of the Bible, if you carry that choice on your Kindle then ease of search is probably of some importance to you.Less than user-friendly navigation cost this Kindle version of the Holman Christian Standard Bible two stars.  Unfortunately, its lack of either direct verse jump or some other form of easy navigation will keep me from using this text with any frequency.  The cumbersome requirement that one go to the index, select the book, and then the chapter, after which one must then page through the chapter to find a specific verse simply takes more time than necessary.  When I am attending Life Group, I want to be able to look Scripture up more rapidly than the HCSB Digital Text Edition allows.  Further, when I do make a selection from the chapters in a specific book, I am not taken to the first page of that chapter, but to the second page which necessitates having to page backward to the chapter's beginning.  I do not know whether this is a glitch in this digital text or a problem with my Kindle Keyboard.I like the format in which the HCSB Digital Text Edition presents the Scriptures and only wish the publisher would make the search function more user-friendly.  Until that happens, I cannot give this Kindle version more than 3 stars.
