Which appears to be free... but the software I see costs money. Can someone steer me a bit more in the right direction?
Yeah, you're right. Using a PPC/Palm bible normally involves two stages, similar to a lot of ebooks, dictionaries and textbooks. First you need to choose a program to act as a "reader", and then you need to choose which bibles/translations, commentaries, bible dictionaries, study aids etc. There are some free readers out there, and quite a few free bibles and other books as well, but most of the more recent translations are copyrighted so you need to pay for them. I would also expect that most of the study bibles are not free.

Anyway, i use Laridian PocketBible with NIV and ESV. Both the reader and bibles cost money, but it's a great program, with lots of good featrues. Not sure if the Harper Collins is available for it. You could check at www.laridian.com I haven't used e-sword or olive tree so can't comment on them im afraid
Hope you find a suitable solution
