In the free BibleReader app that’s now in the App Store, you can click the “Library” button and then click the button at the bottom to view your OliveTree account. This will allow you to download books you’ve purchased from OliveTree’s website.

A lot of these features are in Touch Bible LE. It’s free too. Check it out on iTunes.

Yes, the current beta actually does take advantage of the screen rotation features. Hopefully Apple approves it for the App Store soon. It’s one of the most useful apps I have.

Any chance that they can take advantage of the screen rotation features?

Olive Tree has just released a new beta version, and it is MUCH improved. The two most noteworthy being faster scrolling and ability to download books you’ve purchased from the Olive Tree website. Additionally, according to the twitter posts of one of the developers, it looks like they’re getting ready to release this version to the public soon. Hopefully not much longer to wait! Keep your eyes here, because I’m going to update this review soon with a writeup of the new beta.

Here’s a quote from one of the Olive Tree developers (posted on their forum):

Actually, we had what eReader is doing with content management about half way done at the start of June when we went to Apple’s developer conference. While at the conference we talked with a number of people from Apple to make sure that this was ok since we would be collecting revenue for books (not software) that didn’t come through the iTunes. We were told that this is would not be allowed. So at that point we changed our development efforts away from that approach. Needless to say, we were pretty surprised when we found out that eReader was allowed on the App Store. So we called one of our contacts at Apple and he recommended that we wait on including this feature until it is clear that it is ok. Since we want to maintain a good long term relationship with Apple we decided to not include this content management feature right now. We are hoping to get an answer from Apple that will let us do this. If Apple does allow this, then we will include this feature and you will be able to download books that you have previously purchased from Olive Tree for other platforms into the iPhone BibleReader.

Has Apple ever explained to Olive Tree why they are required to sell in bundles and through the Apps store and Mantis is allowed to sell their own products, and individually rather than in bundles?

Thanks.

Unfortunately you can’t use Bibles you already bought, due to the restrictions Apple has on how apps can be sold. I get the impression from Olive Tree that once Apple loosens the restrictions you’ll be able to do that. No telling when that will happen though.
