Do you own
a Barnes and Noble®
Nook®,
Amazon®
Kindle®, or other eBook reader? We are working on an edition of the
ISV that will be displayable on these devices. Look to this space in
the coming weeks for details.
Produced for the ISV Foundation by Ted Cross, a citizen of the United
Kingdom,
this collection of electronic editions of the ISV is designed to run
on a variety of reader software and operating system platforms.
Palm Bible+
 Palm
Bible+ runs on all Palm devices except the new Pre smartphone which
uses a new operating system. It can also be run on Pocket PCs,
Windows Mobile devices and Symbian smartphones within the Palm
emulator Style Tap Launcher. However, under Style Tap, the
dictionary "lookup" to BDicty and RoadLingua lexicons does not work.
"I have tested the ISV file on a Symbian phone and it is working
correctly," Ted Cross informed us, but "I have not tested it on our
Palm PDA because my wife has purloined it for her diary!".
Palm Bible+ is
recommended by David Instone-Brewer, a technical officer at Tyndale
House in Cambridge, as the best of the free Bible study software. (Tyndale
House is the Biblical Studies research centre operated by the
Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship, formerly known as
Inter-Varsity Fellowship.) Dr Instone-Brewer offers
guidance on
the installation of Bible+, which you may find useful because
because Bible+ is less polished than the commercial packages such as
Mobipocket Reader or eReader. Visit the
Bible+ website

TomeRaider 3 Edition
 Right click on the links
below then choose your "SAVE LINK AS" or "SAVE TARGET AS" function to download
the ISV New Testament in the Tome Raider 3 format, produced by Edward
Cross for the ISV Foundation. Please read the accompanying developer's
notes:
The TR3 file includes
links to all ISV footnotes. TomeRaider does not permit links directly to
a footnote but only to a section containing footnotes. I have therefore
grouped the footnotes at the end of the file in blocks of ten. Included
with the front pages is a section explaining how the Palm version of TR3
differs from the Windows PC and Pocket PC versions when links are used.
Some features of the Microsoft Word layout have been lost, including the
red text, superscript verse numbers and italics in the footnotes. TR3
also removes any indenting of the text, and this is particularly obvious
in poetry sections such as the Psalms. I have inserted a cover page and
two occurrences of the triglyph. These graphics show up correctly on
both Pocket PC and Symbian smartphones. The TomeRaider software company,
Yadabyte, announced
availability of an Android OS version; I think they intend to produce
one for the Apple iPhone. For a long time TR3 has been available for
Windows PCs, Pocket PCs, and Palm devices.
Early in 2007, Mr. Ted Cross, a U.K.
resident and admirer of the ISV, sent us a series of emails concerning
use and availability of electronic Bible dictionaries that work with
hand-held eBook readers.
The Easton file works as a
look-up e-dictonary only if eReader is being used to read the PalmDoc
format new Testament that he produced for us in 2006. Also, the PalmDoc
file can be read by ereader, Mobipocket Reader, iSilo, and on a Palm
device only by TomeRaider3. Here's a concatenated
version of the emails that Mr. Cross sent to us:
I have investigated
the use and availability of electronic Bible dictionaries that work with
the principal e-book readers such as eReader and TomeRaider3. Basically,
when reading an e-book it is possible to highlight a word and look up
the definition in a dictionary. Then by tapping on a Back button you
close the dictionary and return to the e-book. This procedure works with
any kind of dictionary but Bible dictionaries are obviously particularly
relevant to users of the Palm DOC and TomeRaider3 versions of the ISV NT
1.3.0.
There are not many
such electronic Bible dictionaries available. The Palm DOC edition can
be read with either eReader or Mobipocket Reader. I cannot find any
Bible dictionaries for eReader.
Mobipocket sells
three: two cheap public domain dictionaries (Eastons and Smiths) and one
more expensive commercial publication (Oxford Dictionary of the Bible).
TomeRaider offers a free copy of Eastons on its website. That seems to
be the sum total.
The main British
Evangelical publishers such as IVP, Evangelical Press and Banner of
Truth do not seem to have any e-books, let alone Bible dictionaries.
There are some American Evangelical dictionaries but none (so far as I
can discover) that work with ebook reader software in the way I describe
above.
Mobipocket charge
just $2.50 each for Eastons and Smiths, but these are late 19th century
publications and obviously not up to date. The Oxford dictionary was
updated in 2002 but seems to be rather liberal in its approach. For
example, in the free demo version (covering entries beginning with L)
Leviticus is said to have been compiled after the exile around 500BC,
and stories in the Pentateuch are "often non-historical as they come
down to us".
All the Mobipocket
dictionaries work very well on all my devices (PC, Pocket PC and Psion).
The Mobipocket editions of Eastons and Smiths were produced by a US
organization called Packard Technologies.
TomeRaider3's version
of Eastons works well on the Pocket PC. The current TomeRaider3 for PCs
does not have the dictionary facility, although it is promised in future
releases. It has been there in the past, and I do not know why Yadabyte
removed it. Mobipocket Reader is now
available for a much wider range of devices than any other e-book
reader. I understand that eReader is not producing a reader for the
latest S60 3rd Edition of the Symbian operating system now being used in
Nokia and other smart phones. Yadabyte has released a free beta
TomeRaider3 for S60 3rd Edition devices, but there is a bug that
prevents installation on the device. TomeRaider3 is superb on the Pocket
PC and I will deal with that in the planned readers' guide.
