To say thanks..
Just to congratulate and encourage all those working unbelievably hard in the eBible family - this is an amazing innovation that is helping plenty of Christians world wide. I know it is definitely helping me. I love the way it is so accessible; and its efficiency (the highlighting and adding notes etc) It's fantastic! I absolutely love it, and I am thankful God led me here - it's made Bible study funner that it already was, as well as more encouraging and easier to follow!
Please may you continue serving with the right hearts and minds,a nd in unity, as… more11 votes -
No version listed is complete
Missing are 7 of the 46 books of a complete Old Testament.
More than half of all Christians read the full version of the bible.
Thats 1.2 billion of 2.2 billion world wide.The missing book and verses are:
Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus (or Sirach), and Baruch. Catholic Bibles also include an additional six chapters (107 verses) in Esther and three chapters (174 verses) in Daniel.Thanks for doing this.

Add a highlight and a note in one step
Hi,
I've been using the highlight feature and the note feature often and I find, perhaps I'm doing it wrong, that I must mouse over the selection two times. The first time, I understand, as this is to create the highlighted section; however, I am then required to select the text yet again to cause the prompt for adding a note to appear.
Is there any way I could select the text the first time and apply the highlight, and then apply a note directly to this new highlight immediately? Basically, if the prompt to add a note appeared immediately… more

fix end-of line problem
in Proverbs, Message version an end-of-line occurs mid verse (leaving blank for rest of line) then restarts next line followed mid-line by next verse start. So context changes with verse mid-line. This makes flow of reading difficult.

Next/Prev Navigation
I really like the idea of next/previous buttons going back and forth to chapters but it will be much better if we could do this without reloading page.

Minor Errors Form or Bug Report Form
As I go through the reading plans, I occasionally find minor errors (thus far only pop-up references ill-formatted or missing scriptures or the like).
It seems overkill to send a tech support email every time. I'm thinking a quick form requesting the required information could send over to someone's queue, and boom. Done. I don't really need emails and conversation with each one. I trust y'all are doing everything you can to make this site fantastic - it already is!
I just want to help in this small way.1 vote -
Just thanks.. ideas and requests to follow later
Thank you for eBible. I needed it most about 3 years ago when I began teaching at Seminary and found exactly what you did: Painfully ugly Bible sites polluted with advertising and UI problems that rendered them largely unusable. Now eBible is my home page on Safari and the only site I use that browser for (on a Mac, I'm a Firefox user). I wish very much to discuss the direction of eBible's continued development with one or more of you, even if just for a few minutes. I have been part of technology start-ups myself and I understand that… more

Sidebar notes
I'd like to be able to see the passage I'm reading while making a note. Could the notes window be movable, or on the side?

Note View
I would like to be able to see past notes that I've written alongside the text if I'm going back and reading it a second time. Currently there are just the little icons, and I think it would be nice if the whole note was visible alongside the text (maybe not always, if people find it distracting, but as an option to have the notes visible or not). That would make it more like the notes written alongside the text in a paper Bible.
Anyway, I really do enjoy using eBible - I just thought this might be a nice… more

Embedable "Verse of the Day"
I would (really) like to have the ability to embed "Verse of the Day" in my blog or website. That could be such as e.g. a widget or any other form relative to where it will be placed/embedded.
Thank you!

Android App
I'm sure you are already working on this, but I wanted to get the topic out there for people to vote on it. I'm a new user of eBible through On The City, and I would love to read on my Android 2.3 phone.

We just pushed ‘eBible Voice Edition’ to the Google app store. It’s not a full-blown Android app. Just an experimental voice navigation system we’re testing. Go ahead and give it a try.

Have a history section
On the dashboard, along with notes and highlights, I think a history section with a recently viewed list would be nice. this allows one to easily get back to what they were viewing last, like if they are just reading thorugh the bible, but without a reading plan, or if they are jumping back and forth between two etxts while studying. This could be recently read items (like if I read Job 3-10, an item in the history list would have job 3,4,5 etc), or recently clicked on items (meaning if I read Job 3-10, only job 3 would show… more

Be able to catch up reading plan
Within reading plans, it would be nice to be able to catch up, for example in the 365 day one, i am already in the middle of my bible and would like to catch up to there. Instead, I have to go to each reading, scroll to the bottom, say "mark read" and then do that again, lots of times over.

Add the Revised Standard Version (RSV) of the bible
This is the standard English pew bible for many denominations and has served as a benchmark for other translations for many years.

Adding a new bible reading plan
This is entirely a personal request, but I would love to see eBible begin offering some more reading plans such as Prof Horner's Bible Reading System. I know it's not a traditional plan and might be somewhat tricky to add, but it would be nice. Very few sites except YouVersion offer it at this time. Now that eBible is integrated into The City, I would use it daily if this program was available. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks!

Scripture Memory Tools
Please provide a tool to aid with Scripture memory. i.e. fill in the blank with increasingly more words missing as the verse is done correctly or less blanks if you make some mistakes.

Movable Notes window
When I write a note, I want to be able to look at what I'm commenting on. The Note window being immovable prevents me from doing that. Ideally, I would like to see the note window be able to move or for notes to be able to be added inline (or alongside) the text being commented on.
P.S. You people have made an amazing product.
