I spend 2 to 6 hours in the car commuting every day so I would certainly be interested in audio books. However, I do tend to borrow them from the library due to their high cost and lack of usefulness as a reference work.

Also, a question, how would your interlinear poly-codex NT be different from what a critical apparatus currently provides other than being easier to read? I could see that being a definite advantage but I am just wondering if I am missing something...

It would give you the exact complete text of these three codices, and it would thus note all the differences between them. It would also give you the complete, accented text of Robinson's Byzantine reconstruction, hence giving an easy way to compare "Alexandrian" (Vaticanus and Sinaiticus), "Western" (Bezae), and "Byzantine" (Robinson) text flavors. A critical apparatus would take note of more witnesses, but it would provide a small fraction of the variants.

Okay, sounds reasonable. Although, one could argue that A would be a better witness for a byzantine uncial as far as the gospels are concerned, being the oldest byzantine ms. I am not familiar with this Robinson thing, I am assuming that it is not a TR type document. Does it incorporate A in some way?

Yeah, I could see myself buying a book like what you suggest. I could also imagine that it would have broad appeal if you included English. Bible study groups everywhere would rejoice.

I would buy it on sight, but I'm not sure when I would read it. BTW, again, pse quote the Early X... update CD.
