Thoughts on Dake Bible Sizes
The Compact Edition
- The KJV text is a clear and sharp digital font.
- The text while just a bit smaller than the Standard Size Bible is a bit easier to read due to the sharper font.
- The notes, while not seeming to be a larger type, are easier to read than the KJV text as well.
- 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. You should 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 points.

- 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 something else may be going on. 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 may be that what they are seeing is 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.
- This Bible would be a good decision 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, choose the Standard Edition. However if you are concerned about vision problems, then the Large Print below would be the better choice.
