If you might want to go that route, you can try it out on the sample to see if it ends up being to your taste.

I do all my reading on an Android tablet, so I ended up using Bible apps for the NASB. I bought it a long time ago for Logos and so still have access to it from their Android app. I also just recently bought it to use in the Tecarta app for $4.99 (well, I used a bunch of free Amazon Coins, so I ultimately got it for free) and am happy with that one, as well.

If you happen to start looking at the Tecarta app, download the free KJV version first and check the in-app prices first because the in-app purchase prices are sometimes different than the bundled app from the stores.
I tried the NASB sample and yes, I was able to pluck out the epub file using the KindleUnpack plugin.

But, but ... the best thing of all is that I tried it with my ESV Study Bible and it worked!! This one was the lone standout of all my Bibles/study Bibles that just refused to convert to epub (file was just too large/complex), and I've been trying a loooong time. Calibre would be chugging away at it for hours and the conversion would inevitably just timeout. I eventually gave up and resorted to using it only in the Kindle app. Anyway, because of your suggestion, I tried it with the plugin; I started the process around midday and just left it alone. I actually forgot all about it until I checked it out a few minutes ago and saw that it hatched a lovely epub file. I'm so thrilled I can now use it in the Marvin app on my iPad!
