Synchronize PocketBible for Windows with your PDA, Smartphone, or iPhone!
If you have both Laridian PocketBible for Windows and one of the PDA or Smartphone products
listed below, you can synchronize your user-created data (notes, bookmarks, highlights,
and devotional reading progress) between the two. Synchronization causes your personal data
to be the same between the two platforms. We don't just over-write the PDA/Smartphone with your
desktop data. Instead, the information on the two devices is intelligently combined so that
both will end up with the latest copy of each item.
For example, if you create a note on your PDA then synchronize with PocketBible for Windows,
the note will appear in PocketBible for Windows. If you change the note there, then synchronize
again, the revised note will appear on your PDA. If you then delete the note on your PDA and
synchronize again, the note will be automatically deleted from PocketBible for Windows. No matter
what you do, both your PDA and PocketBible for Windows data will be the same.
