Dear Pastor JW.  I have asked all the Bibletimes supporters the same question, 
and have yet had the answers to the things that I prefer about e-Sword.  It 
has been a long time since I tried Bibletime, but at least then, it did not 
have the features I use when I am studying scripture.

At this time, I am reading a new translation, the Good News Bible.  It is 
important that I can use that translation.  When last I used Bibletime, it was 
not available.  Additionally, I use the highlight and underline features.  And 
a feature that is not necessary, but very desirable is the ability to increase 
font size.  I read from 4 to 6 hours daily and the enlarged print causes less 
eye fatigue.  I am in a vacuum right now.   I have been without my e-Sword for 
about a month.  I feel spiritually vacant.

Please answer my question about GNB and mentioned features.  If they are now 
available in Bibletime, I will struggle no further and install Bibletime.  I 
also like many of the alternate offers, like historical mapping, etc.  I can 
live without them, but I would rather go through the trouble getting e-Sword 
installed than miss those features.  Thanks brother.

Steven
