The words are clearly understandable and the name of God is written in it. Other translations uses the title or address of God. There are also pictures as background for further understanding of the contents of the chapter. Lots of features like media, voice recording of each chapter and others. One suggestion is the advertisement below should be removed.

The introduction gives the reader an overview of what God is actually trying to teach us. Some may not appreciate this because many online bibles simply try to make the reader feel good about themselves. We humans need help & the NWT teaches how and where to find that help. Almost all scriptures show cross references which corroborate the passage just read. This removes the misconception that the Bible is full of contradictions. A book directed by Almighty God should have zero contradictions.

despite issues with network, I recommend this translation as beneficial & authentic..It is honest and unhypocritical and tells the truth about God and his purpose, as well as, it has detailed references that assists in interpreting the true meaning and understanding of a certain scripture and verse...

Thanks. I wasn't even aware there was a study edition.

Thanks, it looks excellent. I wish I could get my hands on a hard copy.

Does anybody know why only the Greek Scrips are available for pdf download, yet both the Hebrew and Greek are in the online version?
Atlantis
That is a good question Magnum and I have asked myself the same question. Perhaps that is one of the reasons Atlantis scanned all of them to PDF. He even scanned the 1942 King James Version and the Reference Bible, Large Print, with References. Even the 1985 Interlinear.

I am actually shocked that the Watchtower has put other translations of the Bible on their website. I recently read the entire New Testament in the NIV translation. Very eye opening in regards to what the Bible says versus the Watchtower's version of the Bible.

At the 2019 Annual Meeting:
Brother Samuel Herd highlighted the benefits of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition) that can be accessed online. He then released the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition) from the books of Matthew through Acts in print form. Publishers may request a copy through their local congregation.

Keep in mind that the 2011 Preface to the NIV explains its principles of translation thus:
The first concern of the translators has continued to be the accuracy of the translation and its faithfulness to the intended meaning of the biblical writers. This has moved the translators to go beyond a formal word-for-word rendering of the original texts.
As the translators decide what the intended meaning of the biblical writers is, this translation is more often an interpretation without being bound by the wording of the original texts.

@Magnum:
It's simple why only the Gospels and the Acts are in PDF—only these first books were made available in print. You can't have a PDF of something on JW:org that has not been prepared for printing.
The Study Bible is a veeeeery large and time-consuming project. Initially when the study edition of Matthew was released at the 2015, the Study Bible only contained the full text of Matthew. Later, it was decided that the Study Bible be the default translation used for hyperlinks of Scriptural citations on the English JW.org, so in 2017, the full 2013 New World Translation was included in the Study Bible, even if, by that time, only a couple of other books had their study notes released. As of today, the Study Bible has extended features up to the book of 2 Corinthians, that was released in December with a 2020 copyright.
As soon as there is enough material to format the Study Bible into a printable format, new volumes will be released in both print and PDF. My personal hunch is that volume two will comprise Romans through Colossians, volume three 1 Thessalonians through Hebrews and volume four James through Revelation.
