The Good Bookr is a Bible reader for the Sony PSP, based on the open source Bookr ebook reader.
Unlike other Bible releases for the PSP, The Good Bookr is a standalone compiled program, not a set of images or web pages. This is because a major goal of The Good Bookr is to provide a robust search interface which lends itself to Bible study. The Good Bookr uses SQLite to store, search, and retrieve Bible texts. It also uses Danzeff OSK for the search interface.
It was one of the contest entries for the Neo Summer Coding Compo 2008 (PSP Applications, 2nd place).

User guide
Bible Translations
The default Bible version packaged with the Good Bookr is the King James Version.
You can replace other languages. Download, extract, and replace the original Bible file with the one in the archive (links are available from the official webpage).
- Tagalog Bible (Ang Dating Biblia).
- German Bible (Schlachter).
- Dutch Bible (Statenvertaling).
- Spanish Bible (Reina Valera).
Note that Bookr does not support unicode, so characters with diacritical marks like the umlaut (ä,ö,ü etc.) and the eñe have been converted to their plain english equivalents.
Search Types
- Partial Word - A search for "kin" would match "kin", "king", "skin", "walking" etc.
- Full Word - A search for "kin" would match only "kin".
- Chapter or Verse - A search for "7" will open chapter 7 of the current book. A search for "10:5" will open chapter 10, verse 5 of the current book. A search for "gen 5:7" will open Genesis chapter 5, verse 7. * For the latter, full book names or abbreviations are valid.
A complete list of acceptable book abbreviations can be found from the official webpage and in the readme file.
