I got the "fox-leather edition" (νοείτω ὁ ἀναγεινώσκων). So for reading and walk-about I will either take this or a nice pocket-sized Robinson-Pierpont that a student had made for me.

It is a beautiful book to hold in your hands, well bound, readable typeface, no clutter. They even put the introductory material at the end so that when you open it up, it opens up directly to the text. The punctuation is also distinctive - it is much more sparse punctuation than you find in NA28, and even a little sparser than Nestle1904 or Antoniades. I find this also makes it much more readable. This is now the GNT I take to church and carry around with me. It isn't a reader's edition, and it doesn't have a lexicon, but it's easy to install an app on my phone and look up words as I go, clicking on individual words in the text when THGNT matches the text of the app, or looking them up in a lexicon when they do not.
I agree - when I'm online. I like having this functionality offline.

It's already available at https://www.stepbible.com. For example: https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=TH ... ions=VHNUG Notice that it's not got the paragraph divisions, though.

Here's what it looks like.

Peter J. Williams explains the rationale for the paragraph divisions:
Paragraph divisions that do not fall on a verse boundary are found in Mark 4:3, 5:40, 8:32, 10:32. Postscript: Paragraph divisions have a significant impact how a text is processed during reading. Decades ago when I started doing discourse analysis of the Gospels I became increasingly inpatient with the paragraphing in the UBSGNT which reflects a particular framework in regard to the synoptic problem. My simple workaround for this was using the Gramcord GNT which eliminated all the paragraph breaks and subject headings. Now days I alternate between Robinson-Pierpont and SBLGNT in hard copy. I intend to add the electronic version of THGNT to my workflow as soon as it becomes available. Statistics: Posted by Stirling Bartholomew — November 15th, 2017, 4:53 pmMost ancient manuscripts of the New Testament contained some sort of paragraph marks. Two common methods of paragraphing were putting the first letter of a line out into the margin (called ekthesis) and putting a small horizontal line (called a paragraphos) above the first word of a new section. In addition spaces of various sizes could be left at the end of a section. In our edition we decided only to accept paragraph divisions based on early manuscripts. http://www.tyndale.cam.ac.uk/thgnt_blog ... in-mark-43
November 15th 2017 is the official publication date for the Tyndale House Greek New Testament[1] (THGNT). The form of the text on the page is distinctive. Anyone who has studied the Gospels using UBSGNT will be immediately aware that something different is going on here. Quickly scanning the pages of the Gospel of Mark you will see lots of paragraphs starting with Καὶ. Mark 10:32 is distinguished by a paragraph that does not began on a verse boundary. First line of each paragraph uses roughly a one letter width hanging indent which I cannot imitate using this editor.
