Since the pastor trainee is in Austrailia, Bookshare is out of the question. Sounds like the Bible Courier is a viable solution. With the Bookport, you can find chapter and verse, but it won't happen with just a few button pushes. When you become expert using it, it won't take long at all, but it may take longer than you care for. Personally, I have two different versions of the Bible on my BP. I find pretty much what I am looking for. If I am at my computer, I go to
www.biblegateway.com and do a search there. There are quite a few versions to choose from. At 02:25 PM 5/31/2007, Alex Parks wrote:
BookShare is U.S. only, because of copyright exceptions only allowed for in U.S. law. I, too, downloaded a few Bibles from BookShare, but then divided them up into books. I just opened them, highlighted the book, and saved it to its own directory. For example: /bible/niv/old/01 Genesis.doc. It takes a while, but what else are boring classes for? Besides it is now nothing to find what I want: open the correct folder, select the book, do a search for "chapter [desired number]", then search for the verse number.Have a great day, Alex----- Original Message ----- From: "lana" <lana5@xxxxxxxxxxx To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Thu, 31 May 2007 10:18:54 -0600 Subject: [bookport] Re: bible on BPversions from Bookshare and found that locating book, chapter and verse was a real pain.

I haven't tried it. I eventually got one from web braille. Since it's based on a Braille Bible, it's broken into volumes with a table of contents at the beginning of each volume. It would take time, but you could get a pretty good sense of where to go for what, but it would still be SLOW!Some audio Bibles have locater beeps between books and chapters,bookshare.org or web braille are available in Australia.
