Functionally this is a great product and contains many well thought out features, but it contains many typos and mistakes in the text portion. You cannot rely on the text as correct. IT IS NOT AN ACCURATE TEXT BIBLE. I notified the manufacturer 5 months ago about the errors and they said an update that corrects the many mistakes would be available in May, 2011. It is now July, 2011 and Now Bible Customer Service has stopped responding to my email inquiries. Do not purchase this product if you want an accurate Bible!UPDATE on May 10, 2012: I believe that Leonard Williams, who wrote a review for this product on Feb. 2, 2012, is Vice President of Sales/Marketing at the Danteck Group (mfg for the NowBible,) and is also President and General Manager at The KJV Store. For him to post a review of this product without disclosing this information is misleading. If he is in fact the same person, he will be biased and readers should take his comments with caution. Before you purchase this product do yourself a favor and look at their web site to make sure they have made necessary corrections available. NowBible's home page is While on the home page click on software updates. Leonard states an update would be available on March 1, 2012, which as of this posting is now over two months past.
I've been listening to the NIV dramatized for several years, and this is a refreshing change, even more enjoyable.
I've already recommended it to a friend who wants to use it while she is crafting.
Indoors it's very easy to read the text with the audio. You can change the text size for older eyes, and can even change the red text (Jesus) for normal text color if you have problems seeing it.
This unit is very well thought out and user friendly.
The back of the unit has a not-so-bad speaker! I've used it while sharing the audio with someone.
It also has an FM transmitter, so if you have a new car-not like my old buggy-you can plug it into your radio and listen to it through your car's speakers. It doesn't have an FM reciever, but you can download podcasts to it via a computer. The manual is TINY! There is a PDF version of the manual at their website.
This is one of my favorite purchases!This is an absolutely brilliant product with a battery life of 8 to 10 hours approximately. However, I ended up purchasing it at an online auction site with a buy it now option that was twenty bucks less than what this seller is asking.
The dramatization really keeps my attention and draws me into the stories. It's as if you are there watching the events literally unfold before you. The music is spectacular with beautiful orchestration that is tastefully done; it doesn't overpower the voices or distract from the dramatization at all.After reading the former review, I was skeptical about this Bible so I wrote directly to the NowBible company. I received a speedy response. The rep was very professional, kind and thorough. He explained the situation which was not as it seemed and certainly miniscual. I purchased The Word of Promise NowBible and have listened to it for a couple hours now. I am thrilled with it! The Word IS life, but this audio Bible brings further lifealmost a 3D effect. One can tell there is true passion and anointing! I was able to search quickly for verses. The entire Bible is contained on this. I could read and listen at the same time. The voices were a joy to listen todefinitely not monotone. The soft music and other effects in the background are perfect and I could almost visualize the words coming to life, as they had long ago. I was an English Major, and I won several spelling bees growing up, so I had to wonder at the poor rating!? This is a tool of excellence! There are several enhancements on this compact audio Bible. It is quite portable and well made. Congratulations to all who labored to present this quality product!I am so happy with this!! the sound is awesome! I listen while I am relaxing! its wonderful I would recomend it to everyone!
