I love the layout of this bible!  I found it easy to read, almost like a story, that it is presented in an easy-to-understand language.  Using the kindle, you have the ability to jump to referenced sections easily and by hitting the back button, you are right back to where you were reading.  There are also three years of daily scriptures to help you to read your bible daily.  When God of Jesus is speaking, I like how it shows up as "Jesus:" so you can easily see when He is speaking.  This is a nice version to have with you all the time when you have your kindle with you!  I would highly recommend this version to anyone, especially to someone who is new to reading the bible!
