One of the questions that I get asked often is “what electronic Bible is best for [my device]?” Truth be told, there are plenty, but some offer more bang for the buck than others in various areas. Here is a list of 5 electronic Bibles that I like for their cost, versatility, reach, or intangibles:
Palm Bible+ (Palm OS only)
Reasons: free, tons of Bible versions in several languages; open source
Laridian (Palm OS, Windows Mobile, iPod/iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows desktop)
Reasons: nearly every computing platform is covered; excellent online solution with iPocketBible, responsive customer service, tons of auxiliary resource content
YouVersion (browser-based)
Reasons: excellent community interaction features, private and shared journaling; active development; very diverse user-base
WordSearch 8 (Windows desktop, Windows Mobile and Palm OS via 3rd party application)
Reasons: directed towards beginner and advanced Bible students; (mostly) user-friendly interface; excellent note taking feature; not nearly as expensive as its best competitor
MoBible (any mobile device that can view WAP pages – all of them)
Reasons: flexibility for use on any mobile phone; several languages; accompanying devotional; doesn’t require the user to download anything
What are some of the electronic Bibles that work best for you?
