Yes, an excellent and FREE Bible on your PDA. I have always loved how you can drag the text with Bible+. This reader along with the FREE TRANSLATION of your choice HERE (http://gospelshare.org/ps.bibleplus.english.php) adds an invaluable resource to your PDA. I recommend the KJV (red letter), or if you prefer a more modern/readable translation, the ESV (red letter) is excellent!
Thanks Antoine!

I highly recommend the RSV. It is accurate, apolitical, translated into elegant mostly 20th century English.

Probably not; Pruss should be better able to answer that as that is probably just an issue that someone forgot to change the version number within there.

I experienced some difficulties trying to download from the various mirror sites, but finally got it . . . and mine shows 3.2.0. I would venture to guess that not all the mirrors have been updated.

By the way, here's a nice list of new stuff, as compared to 3.0.0:
Improved text search speed
Full boolean search
Improved card search logic and speed
Text to speech (with external software)
Many aspects of memory management revamped
Lightspeed overclocking support for searching
Prev/next book shared action
Zlib compression for cross-references and Bibles.
Faster cross-reference lookup for Bibles in VFS.
Auto-scroll support.
Auto-off can be set within Bible+
Highlighted bookmarks on color devices
Adjustable maximum number of bibles
Tapwave rocker support
Vocalized Hebrew support
Book picker for more than 74 books
Lots of bug fixes. This is the most stable release ever, I think.

Alex,
The one improvement I would recommend is to improve the look (GUI) of the "Book Chooser" page. Depending on the font, the book names run together making it very difficult to easily pick the book you wish. ;)

That sounds more like an issue with the particular book, though a universal book chooser table (that the book names would fill) would be a great idea.

Good Evening-
This is VERY good software, IMHO. I use it daily and appreciate its capabilities and price (FREE).
To whom it may concern, keep up the great work!

Yes, a table, with borders around each book like some other Bible apps use, would be a very nice addition. I submitted this improvement suggestion at Bible+'s Sourceforge.net site. ;)
