Customer Reviews

Awesome Bible!
Great Electronic bible, I originally purchased the Franklin HBD-1450 which is similar to this one but is smaller with a smaller display. It worked well and the functions were great but the display was hard to see. My vision is very good but the display didn't have a back light, the display is very small and the covering was not anti-glare. So I purchased the BIB-475, reluctantly because of the other review saying it could be problematic. But after much research, this one seemed to be the one that best suited me. To my delight it works flawlessly, has all the same functions as the HBD-1450 plus more , nice size screen, backlight, and a KJV as well as the NIV & Dictionary. When the cover is shut it's about 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches and it looks like a little hard back bible book. It's big enough to see the screen yet small enough to put in your pocket, Perfect!

Quality problems
This is 6 stars product that gets 1 star because of manufacturing quality problems.

First unit had problems with up/down/right/left key. It was ncessary to use force to make this key working, and usually it was necessary to press it many times to have the effect. I returned this unit the same day I got it and saked for replacement

Second unit had problems with screen backlit - light was flashing for about a second and vanishing. Moreover, there was something wrong with processor - sometimes it was going into "search forever" mode and the only remedy was to do hard reset. Unit was returned the same day and I asked for refund.

This WOULD be very good product - both versions of Bible, it is possible to switch between them while reading to see both version of the same verse. It is also possible to switch back and forth between Bible and Dictionary, and to find word highlighted in Bilbe directly in the dictionaty. Screen is large with good contrast, and backlit is very helpful. Nice look, looks like a small prayer book.

Unfortunately, with problems as above I will not risk other try.

I am a bit astonished, since I own 5 other products from Franklin, some 20 years old, and I have never had smallest problem. Maybe this is just poor manufacturing batch with quality problems.

I will try again after 6 month

A few mfg problems with this item
I received this bible for Christmas & within two weeks I realized it wasn't holding its memory. There for awhile it wasn't even holding the date & time but it is doing that now. But it doesn't hold "marked" verses. I will mark a verse that I like & it will still be there tomorrow but after two days of not using it, my "mark verses" are all deleted. I did e-mail Franklin & they did tell me to send it back but with all the company's going out of business, I am hesitant. Just last night as I was using the back light, it stopped working too.

I do like the bible & if these things were working I would give it a 5 star rating. It is a nice design & is easy to use & very convenient when it prefills in the chapter name. Another reason I didn't want to send it back was because I really like it & can't part with it (for everything else it does right).

My husband had a Franklin (card slot) bible that he got about 5 years ago & that works great! I figured this one would be the same. So if you do try it, make sure you get it from a store where you can exchange it right then & there. I am hesitant in shipping it back. But at least they were willing to repair or replace it for me & they did respond back to my e-mails.
