Laridian PocketBible Content Roundup
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "Pocket PC Content" @ 06:00 AM
Laridian has released a number of new books for their PocketBible program in the last month or so.
New Living Translation Bible Study Notes
Here is a quick rundown:
- New Living Translation Bible Study Notes - This book weighs in at over 32MB and contains maps, over 25,000 notes, illustrations and more. It will work with any installed translation, not just the NLT. Just use the Sync to Verse function to keep your favorite translation sync'd with this reference book. It is $14.99.
- New International Readers Version - This is geared towards younger readers, so if you have any children that you've passed down one of your Windows Mobile devices to, they might enjoy this translation. $14.99, and roughly 3.5MB is required.
- Cornerstone Biblical Commentary: Matthew/Mark Vol. 11 - This is part of an 18 volume series on the Bible. $19.99 and needs roughly 1.3MB of space. You can read more about the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary at Tyndale's site.
- Cornerstone Biblical Commentary: Romans/Galatians Vol. 14 - Another book in the Cornerstone series. $19.99 and about 1.3MB.
Be sure to check the system requirements for each of these before buying. I believe they will all work with the most recent releases of PocketBible 3 and PocketBible 4, but confirm that on the product page if you have a Smartphone (non-touch screen device) or PocketBible 3 on the Pocket PC. I know they all work with PocketBible 4 for Windows Mobile. If you haven't upgraded to PB4 for Windows Mobile yet, you should. You can read a review of PB4, released earlier in 2008, here. If you are just getting started with PocketBible on your mobile device, consider some of the bundles available at the top of this page, which will give you substantial discounts on a lot of content.
