Why are we still getting these annoying equals signs and garbled pound signs 
on this list?

Hi Ian,

There is more than the Book Courier Bible.  Let's start with portable
Bibles.

First, we have the Bible Courier.  This is like the Book Courier, except =
a
little thinner, as it doesn't have a place for the flash card.  It is a
stand-alone unit.  It comes in four versions, World English Bible, =
American
Standard Version, King James Version, and finally, the New International
Version, which is the British derivative, approved and copyrighted by =
Torch
Trust, whom I would like to publicly thank for assisting me in getting =
this
available.

More info at http://www.bookcourier.com.

You can also import some of these Bibles, except the New International
Version, into the Book Courier.

Next, we have MegaVoice, which is an inexpensive, but effective, =
stand-alone
Talking Bible.  It comes in two versions, the King James, and the New
American Standard Version.  This is sold by us, Computer Room Services, =
and
Torch.  It is priced at =A340.  I forgot to mention that the =
Biblecourier is
priced at =A3130.  However, it is more advanced, and allows bookmarking, =
but
the down side, is that it has the synthetic voice.  Megavoice is also =
solar
powered and is a human voice recording.

Of course, Torch sell the Online Bible, which has many versions on it, =
and
this can be found at http://www.onlinebible.org.  However, the most
accessible online Bible in my view, is Theophilos, and this can be found =
at
http://www.theophilos.sk.  This has many versions, including the Koran.

I know of no version of the Koran or other religious texts, on a =
stand-alone
machine.

I hope this helps.

All the best

A listener who's also a VI Roman Catholic priest has contacted the show
about his lack of access to biblical and other material.  I'd like to =
have
something on about this in the near future.  Would anyone who has had
difficulty getting hold of Christian or material relating to other =
faiths,
or who has found solutions, computer related or otherwise to overcoming
difficulties please email me at Ian.macrae@xxxxxxxxx I'm aware of the =
book
courier bible.  But in what range of formats is the Koran, for example,
available?

Look forward to hearing your stories.

Ian
