Greetings,

I appologize in advance for this being off-topic, but hopefully it will be 
helpful to some.

I searched the web for days trying to find a source for an easily searchable 
New Revised Standard Version of the Bible for my wife's BookPort.  There is a 
Braille version on the L O C site but finding anything in it is difficult, to 
say the least.

Luckily, I finally found it at http://www.anova.org/sev/.  On this page you may 
select any page of the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible), Apocryphal Books, New 
Testament and even portions of The Standard English Version of the Quran.  You 
may select any book of the Bible and an H T M L page containing that book will 
be displayed.  You may then save that book (Alt + F, then A for Save As) to 
save the H T M L page for upload to the BookPort.  

You may also save the complete N R S V, including the Hebrew Bible, Apocryphal 
Books, and New Testament, or a very excellent Bible Atlas via links at the 
bottom of the page, all free.  The Bible is available in H T M L,Text, and P D 
F, but the PDF version has no functional links, only a numerical page index 
like the text version.  Therefore, I recommend H T M L, but does take a good 
bit of time to load into your browser as it is one B I G file (6.8 Megabyte).

The Access Foundation website, http://www.anova.org/, also has links to a great 
many great literary works that may be downloaded as H T M L pages for use in 
the BookPort.

Regards,

Don Bomer
