Publisher Description
The ESV Reader’s Bible was created for those who want to read Scripture precisely as it was originally written–namely, as an unbroken narrative. Verse numbers, chapter and section headings, and translation footnotes are helpful navigational and interpretive tools, but they are also relatively recent conventions. In the ESV Reader’s Bible they have been removed from the Bible text. The result is a new kind of Bible-reading experience in a volume that presents Scripture as one extended story line.
The Reader’s Bible is a simple but elegant edition, and is perfect for devotional reading, for extended Bible reading, or for focusing on the overarching narrative of the Bible. 9.5-point Lexicon type Black letter text No verse numbers or footnotes Illustrated maps

Not Like the Print Version
I'm glad I took a look at the Sample.
It seems as if this ePub book merely presents the ESV text without the verse numbers. Pericope headings and footnotes are still in tact (though the footnotes don't actual lead anywhere).
I believe this is a publication error because in the preface, the editor specifically states that the ESV Reader's Bible is presented without these things so as to invite the reader into the whole narrative. The concept is excellent, it just wasn't accomplished here.
Here's hoping for an update from Crossway.
Not as advertised
The ESV is one of my favorite translations. However, this version does had chapters and headings within the text and it was advertised as if it didn't have any...will be seeking a refund or a corrected version of what was sold here.
