Between hubby & self there are several Bibles here. My 2 favorites are my Ryrie Study Bibe (NKJ) and myFull Life Study Bible NIV (an international study Bible for Pentecostal & Charismatic Christians (am a Southern Baptist with personal Charismatic leanings...) Hubby's favorite is his Thompson Chain
Personally I own close to 10 and my favorite version is Amplified. I like that it delves deeper into the Greek and Hebrew meanings behind some words. It is harder to memorize because it's wordy though.
I use E-sword for most of my Bible reading. However, I do have George Howards Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, Young's Analytical Concordance, and a couple King James version Bibles. Otherwise, in E-Sword, I often change it up often but always have KJV, YLT, Westcott-Hort with Strong's GNT-WH+, Murdock, Brenton, GNT-TR, GNT-BYZ+, LXX, HNT, LXX+WH+. I then typcially have some mainstream commentaries such as Clarke, Gill, JFB.

Sounds good. I use Biblos (biblehub.com) and the Greek is tremendously helpful with the Strong's numbers. I hardly use my Strong's anymore. I even take my netbook to Meeting and use Biblos in classes. The only hardcopy book I use is my old Arndt and Gingrich Lexicon, and if anyone wants to give me an electronic version I'm wide open (I don't think there are any).
As far as versions offered there, I'm beginning to like the New American Standard.
The King James Version of The Bible wasn't written in English and has been translated into many languages?
The King James bible was certainly written in English! The fact that it's been translated into many languages, and is perhaps not the best translation, does not change that fact.
