I'll play around with it tomorrow and see if I can find out what I am doing wrong. Can you download from Adobe digital to the ereader or do you have to somehow transfer to the Sony Library?

Thanks!

Once you've imported them, they should be under "Library" in the Sony software. To make it easier to find, click on the date column header to sort by date, and it should be the first (or last) book shown in the library.

My version of the bible is simply called "Holy Bible" for the title, and "King James Version" as the "Author".

If you are having trouble actually importing the file, you can also drag 'n drop the file from windows explorer/my computer to the "Library" entry at the top on the left.

Also--It might be easier to not use either the Sony software of Adobe Digital Editions at all. (You just need ADE if the books have DRM). You can just download the file to a specific folder on your computer, and then use Windows Explorer to drag the file to your reader. (Windows should automatically assign a drive letter to your reader when you connect it.)

Hope you can get it working Jeff!

Thanks - I'll try it this evening. I left my 505 at home today. What was I thinking?!?!?

Hoo Raay! Thank you Sherman and Dordale!

I created an Ebooks folder on the C drive and saved your Bible there. Then just drag/dropped to the Sony Library! Also learned that epub is compatible with the ereader! Also thanks for all your hard work Sherman! That is a better version then the one I bought from Sony estore!

Well Done!

I hope you enjoy your new bible and find it as useful as I do.

benham · 07-21-2009, 09:51 PM

Well we'll know first thing in the morning!

benham · 07-23-2009, 10:50 AM

What a well formatted Bible that is!

Thank you very much.

Please, if you have any suggestions, don't be afraid to make them.

Also, I should say thanks for the Karma, although to be honest, I actually pay very little attention to it and so don't acknowledge it as often as I should (shame on me!).

If this threads not too old maybe someone could point me to some Jewish works like the Talmud and/or the Zohar. I'm not Jewish, but I find them interesting reading.
Thanks,
Paul

The Old Testament is pretty "Jewish", isn't it?

Hellmark · 07-24-2009, 08:53 AM

There are more religious texts than Old Testament

Hello, P3aul. The Sacred Texts site has a section devoted to Jewish texts here:
http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/

It includes several Talmuds, a Zohar, plus a number of other works in translation.

sherman the Bible I bought from Sony only lists the Books. Your lists Books and chapter. Huge improvement. Plus yours has definite breaks for verses and chapters which the other one doesn't have. Makes it a pleasure to read! The next progression would be also listing verses which would stretch the limits of the machine if nothing else.

You are welcome for the Karma. I am not a big fan of the word but what the heck? It shows appreciation.

I briefly considered creating a version with a TOC to the verse level, just for kicks (It wouldn't be hard to create), but decided I would be tempting fate a bit too much...

I shudder to think how long the Calibre conversion would take
