Someday i'd like to use a full screen Bible reader w/ the NIV... oh well, someday... : ) Enjoy. -Tek

Serving4Christ Guest Posts: n/a	Palm Reader Pro I paid $9.95 for the upgrade of Palm Reader and then paid $11.00 for the NIV version of the Palm Reader. I have nothing but KUDOS for the program. They updated at no cost to fit the resolution and screen size of the NX. Fonts are nice, epsecially if you get Lubuks new fonts for the NX. Palm Reader Pro allows you to highlight, bookmark, change the font size, bold, etc... Hope this helps you in your decision. I'm bias to my Palm Reader Pro and NIV. Dan

Bible Thumper may be a decent program, but no one who studies seriously can just use KJ version alone. The advantage of Bible Reader from Olive Tree (especially if they release a full version OS 5 system) is that one can study many different translations, or use the original languages. That's real study!

Now you've kicked over a bucket of worms!

I agree!

An AsaiSoft developer emailed me to say they are considering a better book/verse navigation method (slide bar is currently used). If they develop something like OliveTree's drop down book/chapter/verse navigation then they will be the clear "Bible Killer App." Now there's a phrase that will raise some eyebrows!

I don't want to go into whether it's an accurate translation or not, i just want the NIV WITH Bible Reader (not available by olive tree right now) ALONG WITH full screen support! Some day my prince will come... Enjoy. -Tek

Enjoy.
