OSNOVA Study Bible
The Osnova Study Bible includes the Holy Bible and the following Bible study resources:
The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (500,000 Scripture cross-references) by R.A. Torrey
How to Study the Bible for Greatest Profit (a course on Bible study methods) by R.A. Torrey
Daily Bread (one-year Bible reading calendar) by R.M. M'Cheyne
and other resources and materials
Unlike other Study Bibles, this one lets the Bible interpret itself through a half of one million crossreferences/hyperlinks. This is the one to buy if you would like to learn what God's Word says of itself. In addition, this volume incorporates an active table of contents, a joystick navigation between chapters, and a cross-reference system between the Bible study resources and the included Bible (with Direct Verse Jump and Direct Verse Jump 2, see instructions within the book), which makes it easy to locate any place within the Bible study resources or the Scriptures in seconds. The table of contents allows navigation to any chapter of the Scriptures, with the hyperlinked dot to the right of each chapter leading to the corresponding place in the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. Each title and each verse number in the included Bible is hyperlinked to the corresponding passage in the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, and each reference in the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is hyperlinked to the corresponding passage in the Bible.

Quotes from How to Study the Bible for Greatest Profit:
* The Bible is much read, but comparatively little studied.
* We cannot all be profound students of nature; we can all be profound students of Scripture.
* A person who understands the language of the Holy Spirit, but who does not understand a word of Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic, will get more out of the Bible, than one, who knows all about Greek and Hebrew and cognate languages, but is not born again, and, consequently, does not understand the language of the Holy Spirit.
* One of the greatest follies of the day, is to set unregenerate men to teaching the Bible, because of their rare knowledge of the human forms of speech in which the book was written. It would be as reasonable to set a man to teach art because he had an accurate technical knowledge of paints.
* It should be distinctly understood, that, while there are teachings in the Bible that the natural man can understand, and beauties which he can see, its most distinctive and characteristic teachings are beyond his grasp, and its highest beauties belong to a world in which he has no vision. The first fundamental condition of the most profitable Bible study, is, then, “Ye must be born again.” You cannot study the Bible to the greatest profit if you have not been born again. Its best treasures are sealed to you.

June 20, 20125 stars for the Holy Bible.
4 stars for the Kindle edition.
WEB (World English Version)is a public domain version based on the American Standard Version. I'd prefer the New American Standard but the publisher was limited to public domain works and this is adequate for my portable version needs.
Many of the Kindle Bibles are very difficult to navigate since you typically jump from verse to verse rather than read from front to back. The OSNOVA Direct Verse Jump function makes navigating fairly easy. Kindle has it's own limitations: heavy note taking is cumbersome and, of course, no color coding is possible. Nothing compares to a print version for marking and margin notes but this publisher takes it as far as a Kindle version can go.
