That’s a brilliant idea mate. I’ve had the struggle since travelling of having to have this mega small Bible that fits easily into my bag, which, while handy to have, means that I can’t write a thing in it, and it doesn’t have the handy study notes that I appreciate from my at home Bible!

Can you print it out like that with the footnotes at the bottom still? I suppose that would almost defeat the purpose…

Hey yeah, and I mentioned your service in my blog. Now you’ve reached true fame!

The spelling is wrong.

But if God wrote "Savior" and not "Saviour" in the original English and the oldest manuscripts, who are you to change it?

OK. I'm joking.

This is an interesting idea, and I think you are right, it is good to do whatever it takes to be able to focus on the text itself, and not the little formating nuances.

What you said about the column layout is interesting, I never thought about that before. It certainly makes readers eyes jump up and down rather than across the page! It's laid out more like a newspaper than a book.

Good idea ! I’ve started to move towards single-column Bible reading myself. I’ve seen a few similar posts like this, where folks also add a blank page between their printed Bible pages for journaling, notes, etc.

I like the look of the PDF of James from your example here. It’s definitely a new way to read.
