Please note that some customers encounter a problem downloading the Android BibleReader directly from our site because of a default setting on their device. This security setting is to prevent unknown resources from installing applications on your device.

If you do not wish to make changes to this setting, or if your carrier does not allow access to this setting (e.g. AT&T), you can find a free, resource-approved, Olive Tree BibleReader on the Android Market to download to your device.

Once your BibleReader program is installed, you can then continue to follow the Android Installation Instructions found in the Quick Start Guide to download previous purchases that are registered to your Olive Tree account.

There are two ways to delete a bookmark.

If you access the Bookmarks under the More menu option, then tap and HOLD the bookmarked verse to be deleted, you will be prompted whether you wish to delete that bookmark or not.

The other method once you are in your Bookmark list, is to use your trackball or navigation pad to scroll and highlight the undesired bookmark; click on menu and then select Delete.HOW DO I DELETE NOTES?

If you access the NOTES under the More menu option, then tap and HOLD the "noted" verse, you can select options to: Delete Note, Change Icon; Change Folder or Goto "verse".

To ensure that BibleReader re-opens where you left off and that setting changes are saved, it is best to exit the application by selecting More / Exit from the BibleReader menu to avoid any memory related issues.

The current Android BibleReader does not have a native method to delete bibles from within the BibleReader, although that one will be coming.

In the meantime, you will need to delete that specific bible file off of your device’s storage card, by reading the card from your computer or using a USB connection to access your device from your computer. At the root of the storage card directory, you should see a folder called “olivetree.” Within that folder, look for the corresponding .pdb file for your download. Example: "ot_Bible-KJV.pdb".

To uninstall your Android BibleReader application:

Select "Applications" from the resulting list.
Select "Manage Applications" from the list of application settings.
Locate BibleReader in the list and select it.
Tap the "uninstall" button to remove the program.
