Various: Bible, King James Version, V3.0, 06.16.2009 [epub] (UPDATED!!)

As I mentioned in this thread, I thought it would be a rather neat to have an epub version of the Bible, complete with multi-level TOC.
After doing a bit of looking around I just couldn't find anything. So, I decided to bite the bullet and try doing it myself.

What I did is I took the CompleteA.htm file from the above mentioned thread, stripped all of the links and unnecessary (in my view) tags, leaving me with a rather basic HTML file. After getting the HTML file where I wanted it I converted it using calibre to generate a single epub file with two levels of TOC to navigate down to the chapter.

The result is a single file that is quick and easy to navigate to get to the desired chapter. There are no links in the file itself, so there is no previous/next links to chapters etc - all navigation is carried out at the menu system with the numbered buttons. (for the Sony PRS-505)

I am providing both the revised HTML file, as well as the generated epub - feel free to improve either to your hearts content

UPDATE: I have run this bible through "ePub_TOC_enhancer_v0.01" as created by =X=. It improves the speed of initial loading of the bible dramatically. Attached file has been updated to V1.1.

UPDATE 2 (06/14/2009): Completely new version 2.0 has been added. See post #10 below for details

UPDATE 3 (06/16/2009): I decided to work on this some more - I fixed a few errors that crept in, and made some cosmetic changes.
