BYOSB - Build Your Own Study Bible

This is a huge new feature. Alternate translations and commentaries appear as links in the current verse when you tap the verse number. Then you can tap these links to display these alternate translations or commentaries right inline in the main reader screen.

Imagine...you're reading the NIV, but you like to drill down to look at strongs number detail in the CWS. Just tap the verse number, tap [CWS], and you have the current verse in the CWS right inline. Tap on words to open the strongs numbers and drill down just like you normally would in the CWS.

Now you want to read the MacArthur Study Notes, and maybe the IVP Background Commentary for this verse. Just tap [MAC] then tap [IVP]. Tap the verse number again to close everything and return to the verse.

It's way cool.

It's also pretty flexible. You can select which of your installed translations will show up and which of your commentaries will show up. You can decide to place translation links at the beginning or the end of the regular verse text, and the commentary links can also be placed at either the beginning or the end.
