We are hoping this will change in the future.))  <a href=\"https:\/\/richimages.net\/Beta\/NightThemeWithSplit.jpg\">This one <\/a>is a screen shot from BR 5.0. <\/li>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<li><u>I never mentioned this software has Bibles in many different languages; not to mention the  rich ancient Hebrew and Greek parsed text and morphology tools.<\/u><br \/> Please see Dr Stephen Cook&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/biblische.blogspot.com\/2011\/01\/now-released-biblereader-50.html\">article highlighting this capability.<\/a><\/li>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<li><u>I should have introduced annotations ( notes, highlights, and bookmarks) where they are normally used and created &#8211; in the text.<\/u> <br \/> In the video, I first mentioned them in relation to the <em>&#8220;my stuff,&#8221;<\/em> suit case icon.  This is really a place to navigate them collectively according to optional organization features (folders and tags). <\/li>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<li><u>When creating a note, typing any Bible verse reference, such as Mat 5:3, will become a hyperlink.<\/u><br \/> When reading your note, taping the hyperlink will open a pop up window at that location, using the last opened Bible translation. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/br><br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Other Noteworthy Reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/2011\/01\/05\/iphone_biblereader_5_update\/\">Olive Tree shows future release updates.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/zacharyklein.blogspot.com\/2010\/12\/introducing-biblereader-50-from-olive_25.html\">Zachary Klein wrote an excellent article.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/biblische.blogspot.com\/2011\/01\/now-released-biblereader-50.html\">Dr Stephen Cook shows some really nice Hebrew screen shots.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/2011\/01\/04\/biblereader-5-a-pastors-dream-by-jason-d-jordan\/\">Jason D.
