Ratings and reviews

Looks good and is easy to read. Nice photos of maps in back. Read out loud feature not available but who cares. The text and form factor makes up for it and "NO" there are no free Catholic bibles on here. You have to pay for them. Only issue here is all the blank footnote pages in the back of the book. Book has 16,859 pages and some page numbers skip for example page 486 then goes to page 491 but the text flows ok. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars. Biggest Catholic eBook I've seen.

I only downloaded this version under the impression that it was dramatized and could be read aloud. It does not do so. You're better off downloading the free bible where the New American Bible is available for FREE. I want my money back!

Update: the developer fixed the bug that was preventing this book from opening. Now it works great again--except some of the footnote links are out of sync, e.g. each asterisk in Psalms links to the footnote after the one that it should.
