After talking about different bible software with some people at life group on Sunday, I thought I'd do a bit more investigation into some of the free bible software available. The main software I've looked at so far is: In the beginning was the Word, The SWORD Project (for Windows). I also tried MyBible - but didn't get past the installation, as it failed to download the texts.
Here's my initial findings, I intend to investigate some others and post some more details as I use them a bit more later on...
