Free books for modules?

[Alistair]

As there are increasing numbers of free books available from the Internet, I wonder if any of them might be turned into Accordance modules?

 

(cf my previous postings/rantings about my perceived under-development of user tools )

 

I have found many excellent public domain works from

 

http://www.archive.org

http://books.google.com

http://www.gutenberg.org

http://ccel.org/

 

And there are also websites selling PDFs on CD, eg

http://solascripturapublishing.com/

 

Also many biblical MSS and early editions are available on the web as PDF facsimilies, eg Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, the Complutensian Polyglot, Erasmus 1516 1518 1522, Estienne 1546, Beza 1565 1588 1598, Elzevir 1624 1633, and Bagster's Hexapla 1841 (Grk text of Scholz with Wiclif, Tyndale, Cranmer, Genevan, "Anglo-Rhemish" and AV 1611 in columns), etc...

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

The problem is not just the availability of etexts. We are aware of these sources. However, we put enormous amounts of work into preparing modules for Accordance, with Scripture references, languages, and all the other fields. It's a highly skilled job and there are very few people who can do it. They are all working flat-out to get new modules to you as quickly as possible, without compromising our high standards.

Agreed. The new Bible import functionality in 7.2 is great, definitely a step in the right direction. I think it is a harbinger of more good things to come.
