A Major Disappointment
I was very excited to get this module. I remember having had a franklin electronic bible years ago and I was hoping to have that convenience again. Unfortunately, the interface is abominable. There's no real concordance, and when you try to search, you can only do the Old or New Testament, and the presentation of results is lousy, and it always tries to search its topic index first. What a pain. I'll gladly settle for a software solution that takes up a couple of Meg, because this program is so abysmal. There are free solutions out there drastically better than this [$] module.

Good Product
I love it when I am at church and the preacher asks to turn to a specific book and verse in the bible, and i pull out my PDA with my Franklin Bible and start reading along and taking notes. It is so practical. Thanks FRANKLIN!!!

Be the hit of the congregation
This is the only module that I own, and the only one that I've been fascinated enough by to purchase. I really love it, and get the funniest comments about the functionality. When the pastor is quoting versus at lightspeed, I am easily able to keep up while everybody else just gives up. Tap. Tap. Tap. One feature it didn't have that I feel I was lead to believe it had was the capability to write extensive bookmarks. I would like to be able to associate notes with specific verses, instead I get a limited entry associated with the chapter.

Franklin Bible Reader
I have been using the Franklin Bible Module for about a week now and I love it. Plug it in and it works flawlessly on my Prism. The unit is basically Franklin's Reader and their Bible Ebook combined on a module to negate the use of RAM, which in my opinion is the strongest selling point. The Franklin Reader is very simple to navigate, though somewhat limited in features. I like the ability to search for phrases as opposed to just one word. You may also bookmark sections which is very nice to compare scripture or mark your stopping point. The devotional and the index are both nice touches. Anyone who is familiar with Franklin's electronic Bibles or the software Reader should love this product. I highly recommend it.
