"PocketBible works so you don't have to. Most of the Bible software available today seems like, well, a lot of work. Wouldn't you rather spend your time learning about God than learning how to use software? Our #1 goal with PocketBible was to make it "easy to use." From the moment you open the program, you'll find it does everything you want to do with a Bible software program—without the learning curve."
Laridian has released their desktop version of PocketBible for Windows. The sync component isn't there yet, but that is coming. They felt the product overall was good enough to release as is and the sync conduit could follow. I've been playing with it for several months and as a PocketBible user for my PDA, I feel right at home. I is especially handy that all of your PocketBible 3.0 "LBK" files work with it. True to Laridian's heritage, this version for Windows is portable. They have made it where you can install it to your PC, but you could also completely install it, and your books, to a USB key and run it from any Windows PC you want without leaving any footprints behind or requiring installation on the host PC. It is $29.99, which includes no books. However, almost every book in your Laridian account will be available for download for the Windows version at no extra charge, or just use your LBK files if they are fairly recent and work with PocketBible 3 for the Pocket PC.
It requires 8MB of space to install on your PC or a USB key, plus however much space you need for extra books. And if you haven't been to Laridian's home page lately, they have released some other commentaries during the month of August, and for you iPhone users, well, a version for you is on the way too!
