Hello Troy,
AndBible works quite well here; if you would rather point Android 2.3 users
at it, that works well for me. But if not, I'm ready to test.
(I'll probably continue using AndBible, because I like how it's laid out.)

Bishop starts, then complains about "No modules found".
When I press the Menu key,  I get something that looks about like this:

James 1:19 <| [______|
----------------------
+[KJV    ] V| [Darby_|
----------------------
O Verse Study        |
----------------------
* Bookmarks          |
----------------------
Q Search             |

(In other words, the right edge is chopped off.)
Turned sideways, I can reach the right edge but not Search.
(I have a 320x240 screen.)
I selected Darby and KJV on the first run.

When I tap on either of the lower two drop-down entry boxes, it provides
a radiolist (which I think is how it implements the drop-down?) of the Bible
versions that I installed in AndBible, like so:

            ( )
ABP         ( )
Darby       (*)
KJV         ( )

(List greatly abbreviated for convenience.)
Yes, that first option is blank.

I cannot get it to do anything if I tap in the top-right box.

When I go to the main screen, it insists that I have no Bible version
selected.
If I press Verse Study, I get a choice of Word Study, Commentary, Witness
Study, or Variant Study.
Word Study says "Alert: No Bible selected. Please select an installed module."
Commentary shows at least one of the two commentaries I have (Geneva or Gill);
I'm not sure which. It lists both at the top.
I can't figure out what Witness Study is doing.
Variant Study seems to hang or show a blank screen; I'm not sure why.

I'm wondering which box is for selecting a Bible, and also what the top
right box is for.

Thank you and God bless,
Isaac Dunham
