First sentence: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
The text is the 2016 edition of the ESV. I noticed a few changes here and there, but mainly because I'd heard--or read as the case may be--criticisms of individual verses. Overall, I didn't see a huge, overwhelming difference.
The unique features include book introductions (66), sidebars (424), articles (28), and indexes (2). The introductions, of course, appear before each book of the Bible. Old Testament introductions are by Paul R. House. New Testament introductions are by Robert W. Yarbrough. The sidebars appear near the verses to which they are connected doctrinally. The articles appear at the end of the Bible.

The font of the text is on the smaller side. It was a little too small for me personally. The longer I read, the more straining it was. The weight of the Bible wasn't light enough just to hold it closer to ease that strain. I had to choose between arm cramps and eye strain. Or, I suppose, I could have just read two to three chapters a day instead of twenty plus.
It is black letter and not red letter.
It is two columns not single column.
