Superior Navigation: interactive Table of Contents, Use of the 5-Way Controller, and Easy Navigation to a Particular Verse

This digital edition of the Bible provides several options for navigation on the Kindle. Please note also that navigation details might be different in the various Kindle applications for other platforms.

First, there is a fully interactive Table of Contents accessible via Go to -> table of contents in the menu. This Table of Contents provides hyperlinks to each book of the Bible. Clicking on a link to a book provides a list of chapters from which to choose. Once you click on the desired chapter, you are taken to that chapter and can flip the page to get to the desired verse if need be.

Second, when you are reading, clicking the 5-way controller to the right will advance you to the next chapter. Clicking it to the left returns you to the beginning of the present chapter, or, if you are already at the beginning of the chapter, to the beginning of the previous chapter. If you are on a page listing the chapters in a book, then clicking the 5-way controller to the right will advance you to the page listing the chapters for the next book. Clicking the 5-way controller to the left will move you back to the page listing the chapters for the previous book.

Third, you can navigate directly to a particular verse by clicking on Index in the menu and typing in the book name, chapter, and verse, with spaces separating them. For example, to navigate to Genesis 12:3, type "genesis 12 3" in the Find box. This will take you to the page on which Genesis 12:3 appears. The entry is not case sensitive. You can also use an abbreviated form of the book name for faster entry. Use the book name and abbreviation as found in the table below.
