Hmm. I added validation against that... So you were really able to delete all the translations? I'll have to fix that.
I'll look into this as well. Were you downloading bibles over wifi or 3G? I'm guessing that high latency was causing this.
I agree that an about page would be a good idea. I wish I had time to set up a website - I'm hesitant to link to this forum, since I hope that Katana will have a life beyond Maemo (i.e. MeeGo.) We'll see.

Thanks for the great work, Josh!
Does anyone know about importing non-free versions to into Katana? I'm interested in getting the NLT version. It's $15 at ESword, but I don't want to buy it on my home PC, then find that I can only use it there.
Thanks for your work Josh. Great stuff.

It's probably not that hard to add, but you won't save any battery doing it. Remember that an LCD screen creates color by restricting light, not creating it.
Besides battery life, is there an argument for this? My main objection is that it's Yet Another Setting.

Text should be printed with the highest possible contrast. There is good evidence that for many readers who are older or partially sighted, light (white or light yellow) letters on a dark (black) background are more readable than dark letters on a light background. However, the traditional dark on light may be aesthetically preferable.

I think I would agree with this so if it isn't too much trouble would like to be able to use it in this way which should be a little easier on the eyes.

Thanks for the good application. Though I have some problems.
Is there any possibility to change the charset encoding of Katana? Now with default settings Scandinavian letters are not shown correct. With Rapier those letters are OK.

Hello. I have been using Rapier and only installed Katana a few days ago. Much more finger friendly interface for selecting books.
After I first installed Katana, it would use the ESV stored on my device by Rapier. Now (and a few reboots later) it does not. When I open up Katana now, it immediately goes to the warning page to download translations. If I select "No", the program closes down. Is this a bug?
Secondly, is there a way or setting to allow Katana use the versions already downloaded by Rapier
