PalmBible+ by Yih-Chun Hu - A free Bible reader under the GPL license

What is Bible+?

Bible+ is a free (GPL -licensed*) Bible reader for Palm OS derived from the original BibleReader that was created by Poetry Poon. BibleReader was previously hosted here at SourceForge , and was open-source under the GPL. Since then, Mr. Poon has taken his project commercial, allowing him to sell copyrighted versions (such as the NIV), but also preventing others from fixing or adding features to his latest project. Though it'd be nice if he kept the display code open-source and used only a closed-source decoding module, I do see some benefits tChinese Union and Greek NT.o a commercial scheme.

Some features:

  • Fast Display Engine
  • Cross-references (double-tap the verse number)
  • Fast book selector, completely-Graffiti Goto
  • Fast (ARMlet) search engine with transliteration, stop and resume
  • Notes page for fast notetaking (with export to MemoPad)

  • Simultaneous Hebrew or accented Greek with Chinese
  • Large Font option

  • Customizable Preferences
  • Sony CLIE HiRes+ (native!) and HiRes (with FontHack123)
  • Palm Dynamic Input Area (320x480 and 480x320)
  • Runs on Palm OS 3.5 and up
  • Dictionary lookup on double tap via Plucker Plugin Interface (PPI)
