New Version 2.0

Well, I decided to come back to this, as I was never happy with the speed of the original epub on my PRS-505.

I went over the HTML to fix a couple of typos that had been pointed out to me, and I fancied up the chapter names a bit (eg: "1 Kings" becomes "The First Book of the Kings" in the text itself - not the TOC).

I also added a page break at EVERY chapter in the bible - and then told calibre to split the html file at every page break. This means the epub is made up of over a thousand TINY files (most <10 KB).
I then manually edited the TOC file to optimize the epub for speed.

The result of all of this is an epub KJV Bible that is lightning fast to navigate on a Sony PRS-505. As a bonus, just like the original, this epub Bible has multi-level TOC down to the chapter level.

I have updated the first post with the new version.

Note: Like the original, this epub Bible was created with the Sony PRS-505 in mind. As such, there are no links anywhere in the file for navigation purposes, as navigation is handled entirely by the menu system.
