Laridian also offers great support. I had a old copy of pocket bible but when i upgraded to my treo pro the new resolution wasnt supported. I emailed them about it and all i had to do was buy pocket bible 4 for 10 bucks and they would give me the new versions of all the bibles i had free of charge. Even though my copy of pocket bible was purchased from a different company that was just licensing their product.

OliveTree seems like the opposite of Laridian nowadays. They just released another update to their iphone program (the 3rd update this year).... the Windows Mobile version hasn't seen a major update in years. I'd recommend looking at Laridian or esword. (unless you are an iphone user)

I have the Laridian bronze package and a couple of extra devotionals/commentaries. No complaints at all.

My only wish is that they'd implement was fluid scrolling (TouchFLO-like) to the software; the gestures are a bit slow imo.

I've had Laradian pocket bible for over 5 yrs now and they have always gotten better and better. Their service is great. I too had older version on a different phone but only had to pay for the newer version and then had access to the newer version of all that I had purchased from the previous ones. Also, they have a great selection of different free bible translations. I have about 8 different translations that I can easily switch from one to another. And...they also have other free devotionals too.

I like Olivetree but have been getting more and more frustrated at it... They had a PC version that would read the ebooks, then decided to disable it in all new ebooks and updates to old ones... They sold versions of their software and ebooks via 3rd parties, but won't provide the updates... They come out with a new version of the reader that won't read the old format ebooks... (I use other PDAs too

Will probably switch to something if and when I get a new phone (TP2 I hope)

Yeah it is really Sad that Olivetree has really abandoned the PPC arena. They used to be so good at updating and having great resources. The resources are still good but the BibleReader program is really archaic to use.

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.

I use esword in conjunction with ESV, which is free and good - I don't miss NIV at all, since my church started using ESV for the sermons.
