A very close friend of mine told me about a great free Bible study tool that he and his wife use called E-SWORD. I have used a lot of different Electronic Bibles but I haven't found any of them to be something I could use on a regular basis. Usually just because of poor UI design, other times because they only had one or two translations.


I installed E-SWORD and was very happy to see that it has a nice user interface and a lot of available translations. Some of the translations, simply called Bibles by E-SWORD, are not free because they are not Public Domain. The prices for these translations range from $9.99 to $29.99, most being the former. The $29.99 Bible is the NIV Family Bundle which includes the NIV (New International Version), TNIV (Today's New International Version), and the NIrV (New International Readers Version). The NIrV is designed for young readers.
E-SWORD also comes with a ton of downloadable commentaries, dictionaries, maps, charts, and devotions. On top of all of that, there is a "live" version of the software available at http://live.e-sword.net so you can keep up with your studies from any Internet connected computer. There is also a PocketPC version of E-SWORD; unfortunately, I do not have a PocketPC anymore.
I have found my new favorite electronic Bible.
