The NET Bible - Reader's Edition is the result of bible.org's users telling us what you would really like to see in the next printed version of the NET Bible. You said...

"I really love my NET Bible - First Edition with all the translators' notes when I am preparing for my Sunday sermon, but when I preach I find the text to be too small and the notes to be distracting. Could you give me another NET Bible with larger fonts, lighter weight and without all the notes to make it easy to work with from the pulpit." (Typical response from many of our pastors who use the NET Bible)

"I would really like to see another NET Bible that I can use in my morning devotions. While I find the NET Bible translators' notes extremely helpful in my Bible study, they can actually detract from my devotional and worship time in the Word...I just cannot keep myself from looking at the notes. Besides, when my eyes are a little tired I would like to have a larger font." (This is a common thought for many of us)

"I am getting pretty old and my eyesight is just not good enough anymore to read smaller print. I use the NET Bible with all of the notes when I go to bible.org for Bible study, but I want something I can have in print that I can read with these old worn out eyes." (We really do want to serve our users with poor and aging eyesight to have a NET Bible they can read easily)

"Thank you for giving us such a great Bible translation. My wife and I really like the NET Bible tranlsation, and especially those wonderful translators' notes. They really help us dig deep into the Word and we have seen things in the text we have never seen before. It makes the Bible come alive for us. But sometimes when I travel, I want a NET Bible to carry with me that is smaller and lighter. My wife prefers to carry a smaller Bible to church. Please be sure and let us know we you come up with another version of the NET Bible that meets those needs. Thank you and blessings to your wonderful ministry and the gift of the NET Bible." (Pretty common request and scenario from bible.org users and NET Bible fans)

"I have been coming to bible.org for years. You guys are awesome! I just love your ministry heart and that you give away the NET Bible and all those Bible study resources away for free online. I have bought every version of the NET Bible and I buy additional copies to give away to others as my own personal ministry. It would be great to have a version of the NET Bible that costs less so I can reach more people." (A number of bible.org users buy NET Bibles by the case to give away to others as one aspect of their own personal ministry...have you ever thought about doing that? We have created the Reader's Edition to make that feasible for many more people)
