Ha!! I was going to reply the same, the daily reader ROCKS. and multiple translations to help you. worth the investment, check e-bay

This is ONE program I would not recommend looking for a hack...

Have you checked out Olivetrees selection? I believe that one is even more extensive than esword.

Yes used Olivetree on an old PDA years ago.

All of them should have free versions/translations (although I believe Laridian charges for the bible program)

Don't expect to get the NIV, NASB or ESV for free.

Just curious, why do you say it is wrong to give off a Christian type vibe? Just be who you are. Don't be ashamed of it.

Esword has the ESV for free (I use it and love it

)

I use laridian. I found that for those of us who want a touch friendly version, you can change the icons on the bottom to larger versions. I had lost my stylus on my mogul for quite a while, and HAD to do that to use it. It's under view\options\moreoptions\toolbars and click "large buttons"

Does anybody know of a Bible program (online takes too long) with a Amplified or a New Living version? Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, I know DON'T give off a Christian type vibe which is wrong, but ....... it's another post.

Just to make you feel better, the Today's New International Version is the BEST version of the Bible available. The good book has been translated into many different languages including English. English is not the same as it was in 1600's when KJV was written. The TNIV was translated from the text that it was written in. We do not have the autographs (the original copies) but we do have some manuscripts (copies of copies) of originals. We are pretty sure, thanks to the Dead Sea Scroll find that we have what was written with 99.9% accuracy. There have been a few changes to the Bible since the KJV because of this find, including a whole chapter of Mark that was apparently added LATER, the reason, the manuscripts of Mark the people found does not have the last chapter of Mark and they are from before the ones that Mark has been translated from. I would suggest looking for this version as there is no reason to get something that is outdated. Many people think KJV is special, but I don't know why. I have had someone say I want what Jesus read, hahaha I don't think so! haha. I had another person say well I don't want a translation of a translation, I said I can assure you that the TNIV or the NIV was not translated from the KJV!! People aren't that lazy!

So if it helps it isn't just you that can't read the KJV and its also unnecessary!!

I have used them all. I was a long time QuickVerse user, but they drop verse number one of every pslam for some odd reason, in mostg Bible versions I tried.

I keep coming back to OliveTree, despite the lack of updates. I likethat u can change font and background colors to make reading easier. You have more choices than other developers give u. I also like that u can change the menus to work with the Windows Soft Keys, making it easier to use a finger. You can also turn on screen tapping, and customize it tp make navigation easier.
