Thank you for the comparisons at the end. I am visually impaired and you are correct in saying and thinking that a little larger line spacing IS helpful. I wasn't visually impaired when I got my 1st Quest Study Bible back in the 90's and I have missed not having it as a good Study Bible for the last 15 years. 🙏🏼✝️
The first Bible I ever got was a 1994 Quest study Bible and I still have it and I was able to get another 1994 because I want both my sons to have the Bible I got saved on I just love the quest study Bible.
Thank you for the review! I appreciate all that you do. This Bible looks really good! Do the white question marks on blue make the questions harder to read...or annoying?
The pages seem thin. Lots of show through. For someone with visual impairment who needs large print, do the negative points for ghosting cancel the positive points for font size? Or maybe it’s still better than ghosting and small font. Thankfully I don’t need large print yet, but I appreciate your review because I am getting older and who knows how long before I do.
I know I sound like a broken record but I hope publishers and UA-cam book reviewers really get the message that anything under 12 or 14 font is not large print! It's a LARGER print, but it isn't considered a large print. I hope anybody on UA-cam that has been given free Bibles for reviewing by the publishers give them feedback as to this deceptive marketing. Visually impaired persons are going to buy a Bible thinking it's a large print when in fact it is not! This is definitely not inclusive for the low vision community. Speaking for myself, it is quite depressing to see Christian publishers to not acknowledge this.
@@BitesOfFaith you might really enjoy the NLT Super Giant Print Bible! It has access to the Filament app with study notes, devotionals, maps, visuals, etc, and it's a 16 point font. There is a pretty pink cover option too!
Unfortunatley there is no industry standard for large, larger, giant print. The use of these terms is based on that particular publishers standard print font size, which us usually based on personal sized bibles or the type of bible. Regular, study, devotional, etc. So it varies by publisher. The font size is usually listed in the product info line when buying online and most of the time, when buying in person, any bible claiming large, larger or giant print will include a visual of that font size on the back of the bible package. The only way to change industry standards or to create one would be feedback from consumers, hence the existance of larger print bibles. A large print compact bible may only have an 8 point font, which is consider large print due to the actual size of the bible. A giant print compact may have an 11 point font, which again is considered giant print due to the size of that bible. If you find you're having issues finding a font size that is adaquate, search for that font size in particular. That'll give you only options suited to your needs visually. You can always write a publisher/email , and they will give you options based on what they produce, also let them know what you'd like to see them publish.
@leepfrog7405 Yes, this I know. That's why I was saying the above. That's the point is that they don't make many Bibles all in blank print with 14 and above fine for visually impaired people. Thank God for Kindle otherwise I would never have read the Bible.
I noticed recently that when I read the Bible I’m wide awake, but when I read a novel I immediately wanna fall asleep.

@@flowerlass I don't think so personally....because I have used the original Quest Bible a lot and never thought about it! 😂
