Sorry if this is off topic, but am just curious -- what does a "good bible program" involve? Surely the Bible is available via some kind of Kindle/iBook thing?

I imagine a good "bible" program involves not only the text, but commentaries, some system for taking notes, and links to further scholarship. Such would be useful for other types of books as well. Our e-readers are still in their infancy.

You've got it. Maps and study / lesson book integration would add to your list. A sharing function for notes / annotations would be good.

This one is excellent, in that it allows free download to the device of multiple versions (and language), with instant switching among them:

Kindle / iBook is for reading page by page. A good bible program has many methods of jumping around as reference material.

There is a free etext of the KJV Bible in iBooks, but because the text is so lengthy, the software gets a bit bogged down in rendering it.
