I just tried it, but it crashed for some reason... I could mail the author
for the source, but I think a MIDP version would not be as nice as a
PersonalJava version, since MIDP is intended for smaller devices. You can
see that from the screenshots of Go Bible.
It should be possible to get it to work on a P800, though, giving at least
something that can dispolay a bible. However, I think that the P800 should
be able to support many functions of JSword.
For now I will look at your file format instead.
