I emailed him about it about sixth months ago and, much later, receieved a response that he had fixed it to work with the current webpage. I didn't try it because i already had my script worked out and have been busy elsewhere, but that reader looks better than anything available. Unfortunately, it uses GTK, so i'm not inclined to spend time on it.

That's exactly my thought on the matter, which is why i was looking at SWORD. Best case scenario would be to prepare a converter to SWORD module and get the needed enhancements into SWORD so that all efforts on things i consider essential (highlighted passages, powerful search, annotations, etc.) would benefit all and be more portable. The big problem with every purpose-built reader/study app to date is lack of forward, backward, and lateral compatibilty; the risk of losing year(s) of annotations is a big turnoff that dissuades serious usage of portable scripture apps, a problem that i see as an increasingly serious handicap.

A good SWORD-based Qt study app has the potential to really resolve a lot of these issues and be useful on many platforms, but there is a lot of effort required at several levels before that can be realized.

Sorry for the OT, but perhaps the digression has been useful as a sort of vision statement for some of us interested in Katana as a potential beginning of the ultimate scripture study app on Maemo and more.
