“KORAN, n. A book which the Mohammedans foolishly believe to have been written by divine inspiration, but which Christians know to be a wicked imposture, contradictory to the Holy Scriptures.”

While I have a nice, attractively packaged paperback, I’ve toted it around for decades, in recent years, I’ve gotten more accustomed to digital versions, as those are easier to access, and the text is searchable. Numerous times I use the free version of the King James even though I have an annotated study volume in my easy reference section.

Not that it matters, the World Wide Web thing, makes it all more accessible. I did grab a free copy of the Koran in English translation from Gutenberg.org.
