Highlighted Bibles on the Kindle eReader

September 9, 2010 by Keith Seabourn 1 Comment

The Bible (New International Version) takes the #1 spot on the Amazon Kindle’s Most Highlighted Books of All Time. And the #9 spot (New Living Translation). And the #10 spot (English Standard Version). And the #14 spot (New American Standard Version). And the #15 spot (another New Living Translation). And #23. And #25.

Amazing. Exciting. 7 of the top 25 “most highlighted books of all time” are Bibles. People are reading. People are highlighting.

People are engaging with Scripture. My highlights must be somewhere in the #10 ESV Study Bible, which I’m currently using to read through the Bible this year. I’ve been highlighting away. I didn’t know I was adding to the rankings!

I do find Amazon’s title a bit over the top, since the Kindle has only been around 3 years. It was first released November 19, 2007, according to Wikipedia. So to be the “most highlighted books of all time” really means “of the last 3 years on our eReader.”

But if all the paper Bibles were added into the mix, I’m sure more top spots would be filled with Bibles.

Are you reading a Bible on the Kindle? Which one do you prefer?

Reading on a Kindle

Kindle and iPad Books Take Longer to Read than Print

I found this article interesting. Not sure I agree, but it is interesting.

I’ve actually felt that I read more quickly on my Kindle 2. I can get into a rhythm of clicking the Next Page button regularly and intentionally moving my eyes fairly quickly down the screen in time to click Next in rhythm. I recognize that this is a subjective measurement so perhaps I’ve been deceiving myself!

I’ve noticed that Amazon has announced a new Kindle DX with a 50% higher contrast e-ink screen.

What about you? Do you “feel” that reading is 10% slower on your Kindle? I assume the Nook might have a similar result.

Note: I’ve been waiting for my Kindle 2.5 update. It hasn’t come yet. Amazon is releasing the updates in batches. Want to get yours more quickly? Amazon has explained how on their manual update page.
