So, I have tried out pretty much all of the different types of formats the church recommends on their PDA site, on a palm and pocketPC.  Out of them all, in my opinion MarkMyScriptures is by far the best. :)     It allows you to highlight and underline in a bazillion different colors, take notes, and even download all of the footnotes and other scripture helps. 

There is a free version that will allow you to read the scriptures, but there is this an annoying bar on the bottom that says please register.  You only can have 5 notes and marks per document as well.  I recommend you just buy a license.  It is a one time $17.50, but then they will send you a registration number you can enter to get rid of the bar and be able to mark as much as you want. 

After you have installed it, you can download all of the files for scriptures (and a lot of other things) here.

But there is one more component of the program called MarkMyScripturesWeb.  I purchased a license when I had my PocketPC, and LOVED it.  This program basically allows you to put ANYTHING you can find on LDS.org onto your PDA (including Topical Guides, Bible Dictionary, Footnotes, Ensigns, Lessons, etc… ), as well as create your own individual books to read on the nice PDA reader.  This will cost you an additional $12.50… well worth it in my opinion

Other Uses

When I was in graduate school I used this program to download eBooks from Gutenberg and put them on my PDA.  The reader has a nice auto-scroll feature that you can speed up.  I used it to read entire books VERY fast.  You would be amazed at how fast you can read when you put that speed up.  It captivates your attention because otherwise you get left behind. 

I also used it to convert my lessons for seminary over into PDA format.  I would spend about an hour at the beginning of the week putting my lessons on there and then I could work on them throughout the week where ever I was.  It was great! 

Advice

Oh, as a sidnote, if you are going to go this route, make sure you get a big SD card… at least 1GB.  That way you can be sure to hold everything. 

Blackberry

Now a days I use a blackberry and have tried many different things, but so far the only thing that kind of works is the online version… but I have cingular and the network connection isn’t always fast enough to keep up in a class.  I sure do miss my pocketPC some days…

What about you?  What have you used, and what do you like?
