I use Libronix on occasion myself, and it's a great program. It's a memory hog, though, and doesn't run in Linux, so when I am preparing sermons I usually PREFER to use a SWORD application. Not being able to scroll easily, though, is a substantial headache. It's one I willingly put up with, though, for the speed and convenience. As far as I know no one has mentioned that BibleDesktop allows for displaying a range of verses that cross chapter boundaries. This is particularly useful for cross-references or working on passages that cross chapter boundaries. > > Ok, having a scrollbar slider as thick as a credit card is a mistake.
