Features of the OSNOVA edition of the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible:

• Direct Verse Jump and Direct Verse Jump 2, two revolutionary new methods to open the exact verse you need in mere seconds
• two other ways to navigate between books and chapters: (i) using a hyperlinked table of contents; and (ii) pressing the 5-way controller right or left to move between books and chapters of the Bible. Once you learn all four navigation methods, you will be able to open any verse in your Kindle Bible as fast as (or even faster than) in your paper copy
• the complete text of the Douay-Rheims Bible, including all of the deuterocanonical books
• correct chapter and verse numbering (as in the original), which corresponds to the Vulgate (not the KJV); for example, Psalm 118 in D-R corresponds to Psalm 119 in KJV, NIV, etc.
• the text of this electronic edition has been painstakingly verified to be true to the D-R paper edition
• original text, D-R book titles are carefully preserved (for example, see the subtitles in Psalms)
• easy to determine where you are in the Bible
• beautifully formatted
• the text is in the traditional verse-per-line format
• as any Kindle book, the D-R Bible is searchable; however, when you first install the file please wait for the Kindle to index the whole Bible (most of the time about 10 minutes; however, sometimes up to 8-10 hours). The file is large and it takes a long time to index. For this reason, the DVJ-1 navigation method will be available only after the book has been indexed; DVJ-2 will be available immediately.

NOTE:Some features of this publication will not work on Kindle 1, software Kindles such as Kindles for PC, iPad, iPhone, Blackberry or Android. This edition is not TTS(text-to-speech)-friendly due to the way TTS works on the Kindle.
