How to Troubleshoot the Palm Treo eBible

If you are an avid reader of the Bible and have a Palm Treo, you should consider using the eBible for Palm. The eBible allows you to study the Bible from anywhere. It includes three Bible translations, commentary and a Nelson's New Illustrated Bible dictionary. If you have trouble using the eBible, it could be because it is not compatible with your Palm Treo or your computer's operating system. You may also have incorrectly installed the software on your Palm device. Even though it usually has minimal problems, you should troubleshoot the installation, download and synchronization for the application to work.
