What Bible programs have people used on their Palms? I'm looking at
"St John Reader" at PalmGear. It has two translations of the Bible
plus a couple of other books like St. Augustine's "Confessions"

But it looks to be brand new and I haven't downloaded it yet.

Olive Tree (www.olivetree.com) has been around forever, and it is free. Also
has many translations (some of which are free) on the site, along with
commentaries, concordances, etc. I used this way back on my Palm III and
downloaded it again as soon as I got my Clie TJ37.

It's a very stable program and easy to use.

I use My Bible by Laridian software. It's a basic Bible
program where you can search, add bookmarks and see
footnotes. For info: http://www.laridian.com/palm/

I use both Bible+ and BibleR+. Both are free, and between them
I can get all the versions of the Bible (LXX, Wyclif's Middle
English, Vulgate) that I need.

Rage away,

But does it show two versions at the same time for comparison? and can
one of them be pointed Hebrew?

Bible+ is freeware and can show two versions (but I have not been able
to use unpointed Hebrew). It also can use the whole of a T3 screen.

Bible Reader shows two texts but I can only see English.

UniBible has a range of texts (including pointed Hebrew) but does not
have a two-window option.

Three in fact. And it has some elegant little touches like the lexical
entry for a word popping up in a new window when you tap on the word(at
least it does with the New American Standard Version with built in
dictionary)and a built in program of daily readings.

That would depend on the font you have installed.

I have installed one (or Unibible would not show it) but I do not know
how to use that font in Bible+ or BibleReader.

Can you help me on that?
