Here's how I loaded my Bible on to my Bookport.
Firstly I used the best translation. You know the new one. Nothing beats it!
<grin> Except the original Greek and Hebrew, of course.


Anyway, it's in 1 text file that is 3.925 MB big. How's that for cutting it
close.
Before loading it on the BP, I put section markers just before each book.
Then I put page breaks (CTRL+L) right before each chapter.
Once on the BP I put a bookmark just before the New Testament.
So I can start off at the beginning of the Bible, or at the end, ore at the
New Testament with the bookmark, then the section keys jump me between
books, the page keys jump me between the chapters, and the sentence and
paragraph keys get me around in the chapter as usual.
Now I can get to anywhere in the bible usually within 10 to 15 seconds. This


is pretty awesome to me. Previously I could only do that on my computer.
I hope that helps somebody.

Actually, wouldn't it be a lot easier from a navigation standpoint to
create a Bible folder and then, perhaps subfolders for Old Testament and
New Testament with individual files for each book?
