No. But Olive Tree makes their reader available fro free along with a decent selection of public domain bibles - i.e. Douay Reims, MKJV, most foreign language bibles.

I'm hooked on the Olive Tree interface, especially the ability to split window "verse locking" to compare the wording among multiple bible versions.

I wish they'd get the rights to the CCC and a Catholic Concordance though.

I'm doing a chronological reading from Laridian on their Daily Reader program(I have Pocket E-sword and Laridian) It's very nice to match the prophets with historical period they wrote in...

I use ESV + Wesley's commentary Yeah, i purchased the desktop e-sword set too, and it's nice for analzying passages with all the parallel translations Is Laridian with NIV (+study) any good? is it fast? i might consider it sometime...

yea, laridian is fast. i don't know about good... i suppose it's good, but i don't have anything to compare it to. one thing that i don't like is that it scrolls by pages (maybe that's configurable, i haven't even tried yet). the cross reference edition is nice, however, it doesn't seem to have good management of it. for example, if i see a cross reference to a different verse and click on it, there's no way that i've found to go back to where i was after reading the verse. i found that quite annoying, but my only real gripe i guess.

the search feature is nice and quite fast IMO. the split view isn't so nice because you do have to click on synchronize bibles (it considers study notes to be another bible, sortof) when you want to update the footnotes and where they are pointing. maybe there's something i'm missing though, maybe that can be beneficial? i haven't quite figured it out yet.

like i said, my experience with laridian has been fairly limited. it hasn't replaced the old paper copy yet, but maybe as i learn how to use it more it will.

Per Laridian, the software is designed to be used with two books open. So, if you tap on a link the bottom window (book) goes to the link.

Bible fans: Anyone know of an available chronological daily reading and an OT/NT maps program formatted for pocket e-Sword?

Thanks,
Denise
