I want a physical Bible. I want my Bible in leather cover with gold gilding, not some impersonal text on a kindle.
The Bible does not work well on an eBook Reader. But on an app, like the YouVersion app Life.Curch made, it works very well indeed.
I like both. Not either, but both.
Which version?
New International Version or New Living Translation.
2011 NIV is fine. I’m not picky about it being the '84 NIV like some people might be.New King James Version might be “poetic”, but I imagine that wasn’t the intent of the original authors of the scrolls/books (outside of Psalms and Song of Solomon, obviously).

The majority work as an improvised doorstop too.
That was not an invitation to troll, sir. Thank you.
Both Encyclopedias and Dictionaries also work as improvised doorstops.
Best Bibles to read maybe are the ones which have less left out and also the annotated versions.I want a physical Bible. I want my Bible in leather cover with gold gilding, not some impersonal text on a kindle.

It’s not trolling, it’s a fact. Same how a majority of Dictionaries and Encyclopedias could be used as improvised doorstops.

Mr. Rogers will make it an invitation.
Welcome to my Neighborhood.
Ah. Well, I don’t really read annotated versions so that didn’t occur to me. That is to say, I do own a few, and my wife and I do have one of those enormous coffee-table-sized “family bibles” (albeit I’d be more inclined to put my Hyrule Historia on the coffee table instead), but I’m generally content with my thinline Bible.
I guess I would read from an annotated Bible if I had a quiet time, but I don’t ever seem to remember to do that.
For the few annotated versions of books I’ve read, specifically Star Wars Screenplays, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Shakespeare, some others, it’s great to see the comments about the specific analytic processes for the different drafts and comments.
I bought my wife an Anniversary Edition set of The History of The Lord of the Rings, as she and her family are big on high fantasy as well as LOTR purists. But she hasn’t read them because she says she’s more interested in the story and characters than reading frequently tangential notes on the process of creating them. I’d have to agree when I imagine the idea of reading a book of notes on the creation of Ender Wiggin or Harry Potter.
