Can't speak for others, but I downloaded a couple different versions from
Bookshare and found that locating book, chapter and verse was a real pain. For
one thing, you have to know how to spell all those proffits and places that
make up book titles; then there's finding the chapter and verse you want...
Some audio Bibles have locater beeps between books and chapters, and there is
an electronic Bible available from speak to me. 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!
I'm sure others have better information. Also, I don't know if bookshare.org
or web braille are available in Australia. Web Braille is part of the National
Library system. You may have an equivelent there.

To the members of bookport freelist
I apologize for bursting in on your conversation but would appreciate some
advice before purchasing a bookport.
We are a small church in country Australia and one of our members is a
visually impaired gifted person whom we wish to train as a pastor.
He needs to have the same ease of access to the full bible as the rest of us
here do.
Do you believe bookport will provide that for him?
That is, can he go to any verse or chapter in the bible at the press of a
couple of buttons?
We will order the bookport from the USA but where do we go for the correct
format of bible?
Will all audio bibles give him equal flexibility as he searches for chapter
and verse?
I gather there is a big difference between an e-book and an audio book.
If I have addressed the wrong group, I apologize and would appreciate it if
you could direct me to the correct group.
