:: King James Version (KJV) - Kindle Edition

The most friendly Kindle KJV Bible I've found on Amazon, The Holy Bible, King James Version (KJV) with Search Every Verse Navigation (Kindle Edition).  Well worth the $0.99 price.  Every verse is searchable.  Simply type the first three letters of a book and the verse number and go. For instance to jump quickly to John 3:16, you type "joh3.16" and hit enter. Easy as that!

:: King James in MOBI Format

Another great KJV ebook version is from eBookBible, by Chris.  I am happy this is in an open source version (compatible with Kindle) in MOBI format.  Also he has created a GitHub repository with a MySQL version.

In words of the creator of this ebook:

I was not happy with any of the eBook Bibles currently available on Amazon. So I decided to use my God given programming talents to build the best eBook Bible for my Kindle Paperwhite.

Features of this eBook Bible:

• Authorized King James Version

• Pure Cambridge Edition: http://www.bibleprotector.com/

• Designed and tested to work best on a Kindle Paperwhite.

• Kindle's "Go to Table of Contents" feature includes all books of the Bible in an expandable submenu.

• Easily select a specific chapter of any given Book.

• Easily search for every verse using the following format:
  [Book][Chapter].[Verse]
  ge1.27 => This will find Genesis 1:27
  he12.1 => This will find Hebrews 12:1

• Each verse only shows the verse number at the beginning of the verse. Other eBook Bibles show the book, chapter, and verse number for their verse search feature. I thought it was too distracting when reading.

• Easily navigate to the next and previous chapter.

• Easily identify what book and chapter you are on while reading on a Paperwhite

• Every verse is on it's own line and not grouped in paragraphs like in modern Bibles. There is nothing wrong with paragraphs, I just find it easier to memorize scripture in the traditional 'verse-per-line' layout.

• The Table of Contents inside the Bible only displays the 66 books in a clean list. From here you can easily reference each books "shortname". This is useful for searching.

:: English Standard Version (ESV)

Lately I've been using more of the ESV, and have enjoyed the FREE Amazon ESV Classic Reference Bible Kindle Edition.  It is easy to read with notes and cross-ref, but not so much as to distract when reading.
