Hi, List,
I have created my own personal Bible files because the brf versions
available don't put each book in its own file. I used a software program
and my PC to create the files. I copied the .txt files to my notetaker.
The files read just great!
I realize some of you don't have PCs and can't create your Bible files
that way, but there is another way to do it.
1. Download a .brf Bible from BARD or Bookshare.
2. Open each .brf volume using KeyWord.
3. Use the KeyWord commands to create the individual books by selecting
the text, copying it to the clipboard and pasting it into a new document.
4. You can name the new document after the book name. For example, if
you select and copy all of the book of Genesis to the clipboard, create
a new document and name it 01 Genesis. I suggest putting a two-digit
book number as part of the book's name so the files you create will be
in Biblical order.
If the original .brf volumes are protected, which I doubt for BARD
books, (I don't know about Bookshare,) then you must remove the
protection before opening them.
If you want to be able to read them on any device, export the new files
you have created as ASCII text or .brf or any file type the BN supports.
I know creating your own files will be tedious, but you will be able to
separate the Bible into individual books for your own personal use while
leaving the original unchanged.
You can use KeyWord to edit your personal files so they will read the
way you want them to. For example, you could put each verse in its own
paragraph. That way, you could scroll up and down the verses using the
thumb keys set to move by paragraph.
Well, what do you think? I hope my idea has helped you.
