Bill, I agree that for now it could be useful to have one or more alternate platforms like bible explorer 4 to allow for more works. Also, you might have one for general ebooks. Hundreds of standard classics are available as free ebooks.

I was looking at the stilltruth site at some information on PBB construction. It's all XML based which is great. They are starting a project to convert open office documents into PBB. One of the projects I worked on at a previous job for 4 years was designing their XML based catalog publishing system for all of Sigma/Aldrich/Fluka chemical catalogs. So I have some background there so I maybe able to even help their project along if I can find some time. Soon it should become very possible to convert standard ebooks and other format books into libronix untagged format or even convert some pre-existing tagging. A java program could be written to do a reasonable job of scanning through text and building in libronix tagging for footnotes, language, and verse references if they were marked up consistently in the text. So I think that over the next couple of years we should see a flood of books into libronix format through automated format conversion. I just need to find a way to OCR google book type scanned pdfs into XML starting markup so they could be converted. If the open office converter project takes off it will allow easy conversion of peoples research papers, thesis and sermons etc into PBB format.

If I manage the time to program anything useful or figure out anything helpful tip wise, I'll post it on puritan board or contribute it over at stilltruth.com so other people can take advantage.
