For quite some time, I have been using colors and the highlight tool to 
separate various kinds of things, so that when I am reading I am reminded.  
Additionally the underline feature is something I use quite often for special 
reminders.  My e-bible is getting to look like a Christmas tree with all its 
colors, but really adds something for me.

Every time somethings makes a special understanding for me, I look for 
confirmation so I know my understanding is pure.  As I find the confirmation, it 
is coded by color to the thing it confirms.  I am amazed by how many times I 
find new things each time I read the Bible.  It is like the blinders being 
removed with each reading.  As much as I like Bibletime, it is simple and 
clean and great for reading, just not quite as good for study.  I will keep it 
installed, though for when the color affect the reading.  Thanks for the 
recommendation.
