The Sony Connect Store now carries a NIV translation, but it's a joke.
The Reader TOC just points you to the "Table of Contents" which is a long (and slow loading) list of links that must be (slowly) navigated with the d-pad/joystick. Chapters are listed on the first page of each book and must be navigated the same way. Footnotes lock up the device for almost 5 minutes just to display a single sentence.

Even if the book is so huge that it can't load quickly, I don't understand why the TOC isn't using the built in system. The Reader manual even features sub-categories, which would be perfect for this use.

Don't buy it!
