Thoughts On Dake Bible Sizes
If
you would like to receive three actual pages from the three different sizes of
the Dake Bible Click Here!
My personal observations
on the Sizes and Readability of the different sizes of the Dake Bible. A little
about me: I am 50 years old and do not wear glasses of any kind. My eyesight is
normal for a person my age.
Compact Edition (3 column)
-
The KJV text is a clear and sharp
digital font.
-
The KJV text is about the same size
as the "large note" Bible (no longer in print).
-
I have to focus my eyes just a tad to
see the Compact Edition, whereas I do not have to make this same focus
adjustment with the Standard Edition (the text is a little darker). However, once my eyes have focused on
the text it is easier to read than the Standard Edition.
-
The notes, while not seeming to be
a larger type, are easier to read than the KJV text.
-
I have shown this Bible to those who
wear reading glasses to read everything. They say this edition is easy to read
and presents no problems at all. Of all the Dake Bible sizes available it is
their Bible of choice.
-
This edition is the smallest Dake
Bible made, easy to carry, easy to thumb through, and a joy to take to Church
and Bible studies. I would suggest that you purchase this Bible if your vision
is good or if you normally wear reading glasses. If not, you should consider
one of the two choices below.
-
The Compact Dake font size is 7 pts.

Standard Edition (4 Column)
-
The KJV text is a standard print
used in the 1960’s.
-
The KJV text is a little "darker"
than the Compact Edition but smaller in size than the Large Print Edition.
-
The notes in this edition are a
little smaller than the KJV text, however this presents no problem for
readability.
-
There are those who say that the
type in this edition is too small. For some with vision problems this may be
true, however I think I have another idea. When the Standard Edition is opened
you see 2 pages. On each page you see 4 columns. Thus when this edition is
opened you see 8 columns side by side. This view appears to make some people
feel the text is too small, when in actuality, it appears to me, that they are
just seeing what I call: “a busy page.” In other words, a couple of pages with
a lot of print on them!
-
This edition is the medium size
Bible in the Dake Bible line. It is of moderate size, and of similar size as
other full sized study Bibles. I would suggest that you purchase this Bible if
your vision is good or if you normally wear reading glasses. If you are
debating between the Compact Edition and the Standard Edition, and that debate
centers around vision, all things being considered, I would suggest the
Standard Edition. If you are really concerned about vision problems, then the
Large Print below would be the better choice.

Large Print Edition (3 Column)
-
The KJV text is a clear and sharp
digital font.
-
The KJV text is a lot larger than the
Standard Edition.
-
The notes in this edition are just a
little larger than the KJV text.
-
This by far is the easiest Bible to
read. If you need to see things a little bigger when you read, this is indeed
the Bible you should purchase.
-
The Large Print Bible has 10 pt font
size.

For Those With Special Vision Needs
The above discussion has
been given for those with normal vision or some vision problems; that is where
age or slight vision problems are concerned. If you have severe vision problems,
then it may be that none of the above Dake Bibles would suit your needs. If this
is the case then I would consider two other options.
1. The Dake Bible on
Computer.
If you are readying
this, you must have access to a computer. You might want to consider purchasing
the Dake Reference Library. With this computer edition of the Dake Bible you can
set your monitor display and the size of the font to suit your needs. Here you
will have access to the KJV text, all the Dake notes, as well as most every
other book Dake has written.

2. The Dake Teaching Tapes.
Much of the Dake
teaching has been preserved on cassette tape. There are a number of sets
available at differing price points. This is an excellent way to hear the Word
of God along with Dake’s teachings on various Bible subjects.
