At least try NKJV
I have. The thing is I'm dyslexic and the way the KJV is written it makes it difficult for me to read.
It's hard for anyone to read compared to plain English. There are many easy to read translations that haven't been pozzed like NIV.

I like NKJV when I'm reading through. If there's something I want to look into then I break out the Interlinear Bible. You said you already tried NKJV. Might try ESV.
