The Bible is the best selling book of all time. Pretty much every Christian has a copy, if not two or three. Those of us who are tech savvy, however, can always use another one; one which is portable. Along those same lines, what respectable geek doesn’t carry his or her smartphone everywhere? Enter Bible Reader by Olive Tree.
Olive Tree Bible Software has been around for quite some time. They are producers of quality bible software for PDAs and smartphones. Since the smartphone market has almost completely killed the PDA market, the focus of the site has turned to smartphones. Almost any translation of the Bible is available from King James Version to New International Version. The software is free, though many of the books must be purchased. Olive Tree does, however, offer many free resources including some great translations of the Bible.
So, if you are a geeky Christian like me, and have a smartphone (including the iPhone) checkout www.OliveTree.com and pick out your portable Bible today.

On Windows Mobile 6, how finger friendly is OliveTree? I was using eSword and was a little sick of the side scroll with the stylus (or my fingernail). From your screen snap shot there seems to be no side scroll bar (which is making me quite happy).
I wish I had the answer for this. I only used it on a BlackJack for WM 6. I used it on a Palm touchscreen and if I remember correctly it is okay for scrolling with your finger, however choosing books would be difficult without a stylus. Hope that’s at least somewhat helpful.
