The only 12er Shia Muslim translation I know of for Kindle.
As former Christian who converted/reverted (either term works) to Islam in 1999, I find M. H. Shakir's older translation of the Quran to be the only 12er Shia Muslim translation available for kindle. Until I purchased this kindle book, I used the 3-Translation Quran sold by Mobile Reference. The three translations are by Muhammed Yusuf Ali (the best of the older Sunni Muslim translations), Muhammad Maramaduke Pickthal's translation (the first translation of the Quran I ever read, also an older Sunni Muslim translation), and this translation by M. H. Shakir. The Mobile Reference edition allows the reader to choose on of the three translations, or all three. A major problem with the Mobile Reference edition is that sometimes part of the ayah (verse) from one of the other translations would appear in the verse in Shakir's translation. That defect was a distraction. Perhaps it has been fixed since then.I also own Dr. Muhammed Muhsin Khan's "Saudi" translation, which is used by some Salafis and Wahabis (so that I can demonstrate just how different those sects translate the Quran as compared to 12er Shia Muslim translators), Dr. Rashid Khalifa's "Final Testament" translation used by some of the modern "Quran Alone" sects, and Ahmed Hulusi's translation which is used by some less traditional Sufi Muslims. Thus, I have 6 translations of the Quran for Kindle.As a former Evangelical/Penetecostal Holiness Christian, I'm used having several "Study Bibles" translated by Roman Catholics, Easrern Orthodox, Lutheran, Pentecostal/Charismatic, and Reformed Evangelical Christians. Those will have concordances (indexes to verses), introductions to various books of the Bible, articles on doctrine and morals, footnotes, and other helps. Unfortunately, nothing like that exists yet for a 12er Shia Muslim translation of the Quran. I would very much like to see the S. V, Mir Ahmed Ali translation with exhaustive footnotes and a pretty good index be converted into a Kindle Book. The same company that publishes Shakir's translation (though this translation is probably in the public domain by now) publishes S V Mir Ahmed Ali's translation as a physical book.Having written the above, I still thank God that Shakir's translation is available for Kindle. There are a few typos, but picture's of the Arabic original script are included, which is a big plus for those of us who wish to recite Arabic and learn the language for understanding. If one is familiar with Shakr's translation, on can do a word search to create a topical study. I do recommend this Kindle Book for 12er Shia Muslims, other Muslims, and non-Muslims who may wish to own a translation of the Quran.

Quran with TOC with nice Arabic script
I have looked over many e-book Qurans, and this is the best one so far in terms of what I find important, and then it is quite lacking as an ebook. As an English speaker, I would like a transliteration as well. The Arabic script is great for an English speaker, having the tashkeel, and a clearly readable script. The translation is good. The activated TOC is very necessary. However because some of the beginning chapters are over 200 verses, I will need to go through and bookmark each juz (the 30 divisions of the Quran) to be able to travel through the book in an easy manner.What I would like to find in an ebook Quran is: the arabic script, a transliteration of the arabic, and a scholarly translation, an activated TOC that includes activated divisions of juz or even hizbs, in order to go through it easily.But for 2 dollars, it works pretty well.
