Bookshareddorg has different versions of the bible downloadable
for free because they are in the public domain. I downloaded the
file in BRF and then separated it into books and everything, and
it wasn't hard. I hope this helps someone.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Bible Reading on the BN
Dear Jolleen,
If you had gotten the NIV Bible from me, you would have received
66 files
each book in its own file, each verse in its own paragraph.
The only thing I haven't done yet is to link the verses with the
chapter
number. This is because in literary U.S. braille Biblical
references are
supposed to contain number signs, not colons.
I also have the KJV with verses and chapters linked as you
mentioned. I
bought it along with a collection of books from a man--can't
remember his
name off hand. He has lots of books in .txt format older books
in the
public domain so anyone can get them. You tell him what books
you want,
send him a CompactFlash or SD card, pay him $29.95. He'll fill
up the whole
disk for you for that price, so you don't have to select only one
collection. If you have a big enough card, you could buy a lot
of books for
that amount.
As for mp3 files, I haven't looked into that because I only have
a dialup
connection and it would take me forever to download them. I know
that some
versions on the Bible Gateway aren't available as audio files.

Subject: [Braillenote] Bible Reading on the BN
: The first electronic Bible I used, I downloaded from the
internet book by
: book several years ago. It was the King James version. With a
series of
: cut and paste commands, I now have it formatted so that each
verse is a
: paragraph and the chapter and verse are written 1:1, for
example. The
book
: name is at the top of each file. This is my favorite format
and I used it
: first on a competitor note taker when the BN was only a dream
at best.
:
: I also have the NIV and I don't remember where I got it,
possibly
: Bookshare. It seems that I had to divide it book by book. Now
with these
: two on compactflash, I am hoping to get a compactflash or SD
card big
: enough to hold a third version that is mp3 format.
:
: There is an excellent bible reference on line. I use it
frequently on my
: computer, but have visited it only once in the 2 times I have
been on line
: with my new mPower. The URL is
: http://www.biblegateway.com
: It claims to have 50 versions and in 35 languages. There are
commentaries
: and such. There are options to listen to an audio version of
some
: translations.
:
: A disapointment for me was that I could not access the link
"Listen to the
: Chapter" on my BN. It gave me the choice of downloading the
file. I did
: that and the media player did not seem to recognize it or play
it. I
would
: be most appreciative if someone could find the answer to that
problem for
me.
