Good luck!
With Accordance, I can inc. my Geneva Bible and any other pdf?
The Geneva translation came with the package I purchased. There is probably a way to incorporate the notes as well. An additional benefit of Accordance is the ability to add notes to each verse of the Bible, thus creating your own study Bible. For example, it is easy to compile the study notes from the ESV Study Bible, The Expositor's Bible Commentary, Calvin, Matthew Henry, or whatever, on each pericope you are studying. Along with the Greek and Hebrew resources, I find it indispensable for sermon preparation. You can then tie these notes to any version of the Bible you prefer, such as the Geneva.

The Accordance forum has a lot of knowledgeable people, and they can answer almost any question you have before you even purchase the product, especially regarding PDFs. (BTW, I am not connected to the company in any way. It has really deepened my interaction with Scripture.)

E-sword has the great advantage of being mostly free, but does not run on the Mac without some type of emulator. I have found a way to use E-sword on my Mac, but I just had too many problems getting it to run smoothly. So, I took the plunge and went with Accordance. If you are tech savvy, then E-sword may be a good alternative considering the price.
