True, it does read more smoothly. I'm just used to the traditional chapter and verse method of searching. I'm not complaining, mind you, because it works just fine. In fact, just last week I was reading a scifi story and it talked about the legend of the red calf bringing about the end of the world. It gave chapter and verse, so I just whipped over to that passage and read it. Very cool way to find the referenced material.

Sweet Elsi mailed me an 8 MB smart media card that she could no longer use, so I'm putting the Bible and religious stuff on it. That way, nobody will be able to see and judge me for having all the scifi/witchy/spooky stories.
