The Reader's Bible Experience Using ESVBible.org

With the release of the ESV Reader’s Bible, some have asked whether or not it will be available for e-readers (Kindle, iBooks, Nook, etc.). An e-reader version of the Reader’s Bible is in the works, but in the meantime we suggest utilizing the settings within ESVBible.org on your web browser for a similar reading experience. Here is a brief tutorial:

  1. Go to ESVBible.org.

  2. Navigate to the passage you want to read by typing in a specific reference or book of the Bible in the top right corner of the page.
