Does anyone know of any free downloads for NIV?

awe

It's hard to find one. But I finally get it. It's from PocketBible!!

But some suspect that it is a pirate copy, thus I have removed the link until someone or me can verify that.

the pocket songbook looks like a good program too. useful in planning services.

I hate to point an accusing finger, but it must be pirated -- Zondervan doesn't give out no-fee distribution licenses for the NIV, to the best of my knowledge.

2 years ago, Zondervan let people download the NIV for about 1 week before Easter for free. I have not seen such an offer since then. I am inclined to agree that this is a pirate site. Quite the the oxymoron if it is pirated.. Can anyone verify this?

awe

If it is a pirate copy I will not use it. How do I know that it is a pirate copy? May be have to ask the site administrator.

awe

wmm, can you please remove that link until someone verify that it is not a pirate copy as I cannot edit your post.

Gigi

Ok then, can someone suggest the closest version to NIV for a free download?

Thanks,

Gigi :)

I would recommend God's Word Translation.

It was translated more recently than the NIV and reads as better English (even though my own English Grammer Skills may be lacking :p ). They used a very similiar method to translating it.

You can find out more about this version at http://www.GodsWord.org (not .com)

You can download a free copy of it at http://www.olivetree.com

Also on the main God's Word website they have each of the books in PDF format.

Done. (Sorry for not thinking about the effect of including it in the quote from the original post.)

I am currently using OliveTree and 3 different free versions - God's Word, Bible in Basic English, and Modern King James Version. So far I like the God's Word version the best, but I do like being able to quickly switch between the 3 versions to get a little different flavor on a specific verse.

awe

Sorry for the link. It is indeed a pirate copy. Thanks wmm for pointing out.



The following is reply from Zondervan.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The file, PocketPC_Holy_Bible.exe, is a pirated copy of the Laridian
PocketBible software. Since this is a pirated copy, we ask that you please remove it from your Pocket PC device if it has been installed.

A legal copy can be obtained at www.laridian.com.

Laridian offers a free demo version of PocketBible which provides the KJV text of the entire New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs. Navigate to the Order Form to place an order for the free PocketBible demo.<<

Thank you, again, for bringing this to our attention. I have forwarded it to the company president but, unfortunately, there may not be much we can do since they are in Hong Kong.
