Review: Bible Navigation keyboard doesn't work on Kindle Fire...but still an Excellent version

Overall I find this Kindle version better than a previous non "go to verse" search version where I had to use Kindle's search (extremely slow)to get to the verse I wanted. My television Pastor was there and gone by the time the verse displayed. It's a teaching ministry and has to reference different verses in the Bible for the topic being taught. I've read many reviews of other Bibles with a built-in search feature and took a chance on this one being what I wanted. There doesn't seem to be a Kindle Bible that has all the features I would like so this version gets 5 stars because it comes the closest. Only negative is that I thought the keyboard displayed in the sample was a built in virtual keyboard downloaded with this Bible. It may be but going through the "How to use this Publication" and "Quick Instructions", it is clearly written that Kindle Fire does not support this function, so don't expect the sample keyboard to display. I was disappointed but the way I get around this is to bookmark the Table of Contents. Once there tap onto the book you want, the book & verse numbers display immediately, then just tap the verse you want. It's lightning fast and just may be faster than manually typing the book and verse number so not having the Bible's own virtual keyboard may not be a negative at all. I have no way of comparing but find this way fast enough to follow my Pastor in a teaching ministry who constantly jumps to many books/verses during the service. The words of Jesus are in red which I like and haven't found in many other Kindle KJV Bibles. The verses all have the book abbreviations so I know which book I'm in if I add further bookmarks. My previously downloaded Bible didn't have that and it was extremely distracting and frustrating since I had several bookmarks and had to scroll back to the beginning of each book to know if I was in Luke, Matthew, Genesis, etc. All the standard Kindle Fire notes, definitions, bookmarks, keyboard, etc. still work fine and I've so far encountered no problems.  I do recommend this KJV Bible for those of you who own the Kindle Fire.
