Even though this is a big improvement, there are some glaring shortcomings. Just one good example - you won't find a Bookmark function in this supposed new version (3.67 was released in March this year). How can anyone reading a bible not use a bookmark is beyond me. On top of that, ths history function is not good enough, displaying at most two entries and forgetting the past entries when you close and re-open the reader again. They should direct more development efforts in the Symbian version to make it more like the full featured Windows and Palm version. Until then, it is not good enough even for basic reading.

Ah, I was going from the SIS file date, I guess must have tweaked the install file recently without changing the actual version number.
Yes, good call on the missing features. Still, it's free and is OK for occasional use.
