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. 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.
