I first want to let everyone know that the entire Scourby narration of the 
bible is available from the Bard web sight.  It appears to be marked up for 
testament, book, and chapter navigation.

There are some good points hear and I will look into them.  I’m pretty sure 
that I’m going to do something at this point.  However, I’m going to stay 
well away from copyright restrictions but I am willing to investigate any 
option.

I’m not really a fan of the books as apps approach that many of them seem 
to have taken.  I think an app should have a different purpose from a book 
and I’m considering functionality that would make such an app compliment a 
book whether it be some ebook format or audio.  Possibly nothing more than 
a quick reference tool.
Thanks to all of you for your comments and more are welcome of course.
