Updated: March 2008
This page provides a listing of Bible software programs for other operating systems (OSs). There are too many to keep up with, so this page provides mostly just contact information, though I've tried to make the descriptions useful. I have NOT included the many Palm and PocketPC readers that can read various versions of the Bible texts; I've tried to limit this to only Bible Study software.
Note: I don't know of any Bible Study programs available for the Psion EPOC platform. The couple of programs that used to be available seem to have gone away. EPOC users sadly seem limited to getting a Bible in some type of Reader format. The article at: http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/bible.htm includes some links to Reader based Bibles for EPOC.
