This thread is about developing a specialized eBook reader that can be used by anyone.

This is a simple bible application. it has all of the old and new testament books based on the king james version in it at present. we plan to incorporate many more features into it over time, like easier chapter/verse navigation, bookmarks, annotations, reading lists, not to mention trying to get other translations and even other religious texts. lots to do, but we are starting simple.

Download the latest version from the Homebrew Apps Gallery: simple bible
Updates:

0.23.0 - Nov 18:

1. Download translations directly to your phone now. No need for a computer.

0.12.11 - Nov 9:

1. Removed a Debug message that was accidentally left in the App Catalog Version 0.12.09
2. Also, since this is a homebrew version, I'm putting the Installed Translation back to the KJV Starter to save space on homebrewer's install partition.
3. Putting Cookie Kill back in too for Homebrewers - You will need to use this to get back to the KJV Starter if you are comming from the full app from the app catalog v(0.12.9)

0.12.5 - Nov 1:

1. Fixed Delete Bug for Installed Translations List
2. Fixed Reorder Bug for Installed Translations List

0.12.3 - Oct 28:

1. FIXED Scroller Orientation Bug
2. Added Multilingual Support for Spanish and German UI
3. More Translations Available on our website. There are now many English, 4 German and a Spanish Translation. For a complete list of translations available, visit our website.
4. Added Error checking to allow for the fact that some bible translations have more books than others. It won't crash when switching from one to another. This has allowed for translations like Volxbibel which doesn't have an OT and KJV w/Apocrypha which has many extra books in the OT.

VERSION 0.10.6 available - (9/27)

translations! we now allow for multiple translation, by the beginning of october, we will have netbible and asv translations available. we would like to give a BIG THANKS to dsei from the forums for helping us redo the formatting of all 3 versions of the bible with scripts to automate it all!!

bookmark for setting your current position quickly and jumping back to it

screen orientation header bar bug fixed

screen orientation positioning bug mostly fixed, now your position does not jump so much, we just can't make it perfect until a newer developer kit is released with better support for positioning

Resume from previous button to return you to where you were when you last closed the bible

known bug - removing translations does not work 100% yet, but we thought adding would be so important to everyone that deleting can come later...
