Can I use Laridian PocketBible or Olive Tree BibleReader for Pocket PC on a P800 phone? Thanks!

Unfortunately, these 2 programs don't work on the P800. The only way to get the Bible into the P800 for now is to install the MobiPocket Reader (can get free at www.mobipocket.com) and then either:

1. Purchase a Bible in e-book format (I have purchased the KJV and am v happy with it) and view it from the Mobipocket Reader.

2. Download a bible (can find in www.cnet.com/downloads and do a search for "bible") in html format, save them to your P800, and then use the Mobipocket Reader to read it.

I have used both methods before. Would strongly recommend method 1. Costs only US$5 for the KJV version. File size is about 1.4mb. Wheras for method 2, I had to saved the entire folder containing the html files of the bible to my external MSD - 6mb!!!

You can direct the reader to a particular book, chapter and verse for method 1. The search function is pretty good too.

Hope this helps...

That sounds interesting. I have KJV, NIV/TNIV and WEB as PDF files, and I have several versions in html format (via HTMLBible.com) but I want a stronger, full featured Bible Program.

Thanks.
