SymbianBible v0.98.1 S60 9.1 3rd
Symbianbible is a bible reader for devices (mobile phones) using Symbian OS Series 60 and 80. The file access engine is ported from the well known bible reader for Palm: Bible+ , so you can use many bible files that are already available for the Bible+.

Obtain bible files
You can look in http://palmbibleplus.sourceforge.net/bibles.htm. Non latin text (except for Greek and Hebrew) is not supported. You can have multiple bible files on your phone.
NOTE: not all PDB files are bible files, and some PDB bible files are not compatible with palmbibleplus or S60bible. Copy bible files to phone/memory card
Important note: You can not send the bible file to the phone Inbox, because of the security limitation. In E50, a file received in the Inbox can not be saved to somewhere else (I don't know if other phone models support saving the file to some folder)
You have some option to copy the bible files:
* Use a card reader, and copy the bible files to any folder you like (except in the "sys" or "private" folder, to be save, just save it to a folder named Bible).
* If you have a data cable, you can use the "data transfer" function and copy the bible files to any folder you like
* If you have a PC Suite (any connection method: cable, infrared, or bluetooth), you can use the "Nokia Phone Browser" and put the bible files anywhere you like
* If you have infrared connection, use the built-in "file manager" application, and choose: "Receive Via Infrared", then send the file to the phone.
* If you have a bluetooth connection, you must use an application that can "browse" the phone and upload the file to the phone. (Currently I don't have a bluetooth connection in my Windows machine, but the "Send to bluetooth" menu will NOT work).
Update the bible list
When you launch s60bible, you will see the "bible not found" message. This is normal, select "option -> bibles ->update bible list".
Note: If the bible files you copied to your phone doesnt show up, then make sure that it is a palmbibleplus bible file.
Adjust things
Here are some things you can adjust:
1. If the text shows up garbled, then choose another font using "options -> bibles -> select font".
2. If the text doesn't show correct accented charactes, then choose another encoding using "options -> bibles -> select encoding".
3. If the text is to small or big, choose Zoom In or Zoom Out
4. If you don't like the default color scheme, change it using: 'Settings -> Color'
5. If you like reading bibles on the phone and would like to keep the backlight on, see the 'Settings >> options'
6. If the display is to small, press '9' to toggle full screen. You can change this shortcut (and the shortcut of many other action) using 'Settings -> Keybinding'
