Ditto here. Even in the Psalms the chapter division is questionable in at least one place, maybe two. Psalms 9 and 10 are an alphabetical acrostic, so they are meant to be read together. I was listening to a sermon or something the other day and a chapter division kept me flipping between chapters in SwordReader. It was not very practical.
The screenshots look great, though. It looks great for a first stab!
