Pros and cons
Pros
- 13-point print and the NIV Comfort Print typeface support a larger, clear-reading format.
- Slim profile and ribbon markers suit carrying the Bible and keeping places in more than one passage.
- Includes the complete NIV text, a presentation page, and double-column layout.
Cons
- At 2 pounds and 9.73 inches long, it is not an especially small or light option despite its thinline profile.
