These EPUB format books are provided at no cost. They were created to satisfy a personal desire to use an eReader to
read the scriptures on my commute. My reader choice was originally a Sony PRS-300 which I recently upgraded to a PRS-350.
After completing the Old Testament last year, everything else has been downhill given the size of the Old Testament. The
most recent addition is the Gospel Principles manual provided courtesy of Grant Farnsworth.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has recently expanded its library of material in the EPUB format. I have
no desire to compete with the Church's official efforts; however, not all scriptures/books are available and there appear to be
subtle differences in how various readers render books created in EPUB format. The biggest difference being 'navigation'
structure. If you have a traditional eReader (absence of strong touch screen capabilities), you may still find the versions
I created simpler for navigation. For example, I have created an additional layer of navigation for the D & C where you can
select a selection of Sections instead of having to navigate through 138 individual Sections. Much of this has to do with
the architecture of your reader device and its supporting software. Simply put, EPUB book structure is not rendered the same
for all devices.
You can access the Church's products at:

I have received positive response (meaning usable) from users of multiple Sony readers, the Kindle, the Nook and several other
less common names. There appears to be a challenge presently with the software for the Nook that does not render the standard
Table of Contents as formated to the EPUB standard. (If you find otherwise, please share you experience).
Feedback is always welcome. Appreciate any noting of errors (no line break for a verse change, two Books with the same title, etc.)
To provide such feedback, please feel free to email me at
ggoehring@earthlink.net.
I hope you enjoy your eReader and access to the scriptures. Greg
