Try Bookshare.org has several versions in text, html and Daisey.  By the
way, I looked up the Bible on the NLS online catalogue under electronic
resources just now and found forty links.

I've never used Bookshare, so I don't know how well they index the
Daisey versions.


Good Luck

Don,
Are there HTML or Daisey format Bibles available that are compatible
with 
the bookport?  If so, where can one obtain them?
