I exported a copy of the NRSV from The Online Bible software. I exported it book-by-book. Now I have each book of the Old and New Testament in a separate file. It took about an hour to export all of the books to separate text files. You can have O L B export to a formatted text file so that each chapter starts a new paragraph. That makes moving through text a little easier. If you want a copyrighted version (NIV, NRSV, etc.), this is a decent option. Of course, you have to buy the O L B software and pay to unlock the copyrighted version you want.

http://www.bookcourier.com/XferBibles.htmPlease note that these are _not-, repeat not, meant for the book port but are for the sister product book courier. APH does not support this and you also do not install the bibles onto the book port but just copy it like you would any file to any removable drive.Also, I am not sure how much you really gain by using these Bible files. You can move by Word, verse and chapter, with the bp's page matching one of the bc's chapters, but i have not figured out how to move by book and this might not be possible.thanks much.
