Navigable Bible that really works on Jetbook?

kevbooks · 01-02-2010, 02:57 PM

I've dutifully searched the forums and have test driven several iterations of the Bible in numerous formats. I just can't seem to find one that will work in a church setting where quick and easy navigation is a must.

I would even *gasp* pay for one, if necessary. If someone has found a viable option that performs well (very specifically, on the JB-5), I would be as happy as a leetle girl.

I received Bible already preloaded on jetBook and jetBook-Lite units:

Thanks, kris, but that's in txt format and I'm afraid that it is not very user friendly. I would like to be able to access book and chapter with as few ham-fisted button entries as possible. I'm hoping someone has just such a Bible on their JB-5 and that they can lead this lonely pilgrim to the promised land.

I spent a good deal of time and made my own using PDF's and Table of Contents for Chapters. I have a subfolder (NASB) that has all of the books, numbered from 01 to 66. Then, I can choose a book and use the TOC to choose a chapter. Load time is reasonably fast.

I admire your resourcefulness. Sounds like quite a project. Pleading laziness, I'm still looking for the holy grail ...

Strike that sentiment, actually. I found a website with the entire KJV, broken down into individual chapter files. They are in html, but it's an easy conversion. I set up a directory path like Kralik describes and it seems to be quite functional. One minor detail: there are about 1200 chapters to set up. T-W-E-L-V-E H-U-N-D-R-E-D.

I shall begin this, my slavish life's work, until some generous soul rescues me with an easier alternative...
