I use e-Sword and TheWord - e-Sword as the primary. I've used it for years and have grown too comfortable with it. I can make the main page of e-Sword as simple and uncluttered as I want to and still have quick access to all of my materials. However, I understand why many people prefer TheWord. Me, I'll use e-Sword 90% of the time and be happy.

Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Sorry if this a daft question, are eSword modules compatible with TheSword?
At the moment I'm liking eSword more for the uncluttered layout of the windows. . I locate the scripture or section of scripture I would like to study and tap on a word or Strong's reference I would like to delve deeper into. Next, I tap on the 'Dictionary' tabs which rolls out, and the Bibles in turn roll away. Anywhere that reference has an explanation is indicated on the tabs. (in most cases) After I have noted what I want from there I then tap on the 'Commentaries' tab, at which point the 'Dictionaries, roll away, and so on.
This allows me to work through each section of resources deeply and progressively.

... You read that right: for personal devotions, eSword is the best software available.
While I would not disagree there is a weakness in eSword's ability to implement reading plans that theWord is superior. With tW one can design at the verse level where eS limits design to a chapter as the smallest reading block. The work-around that I've used in eS is that I create a devotional module that has the full text of my scripture reading plans.

Mike (or Cindi),
yes, what you just wrote is true; individually, TW's Bible Reader is far superior to eSword. Not only do you have verse limits instead of chapter limits, but TW also gives you complete access to your entire library - commentaries, dictionaries (with word clicks!), general books: the whole kit and kaboodle.
But how about verse memory and meditation? TW not only doesn't have that tool - Costas has publicly said he isn't going to add one. How about a prayer list? You could customize one with an empty general book module in TW - but eSword comes with a great one "right out of the box." Rick has even added a "journal" to the list of tools for those who enjoy journaling. (Journal, Notes & Topic Editor are all basically the same tool. Journal sorts by date; Notes sort by reference; and Topic sorts by topic.)
So, for an all encompassing devotional tool - eSword is better. What TW does, it always does it better than eSword; but until Costas decides to add Bible memory and prayer lists, eSword is the way to go as a personal devotional tool.
As a side note, I've thought about building a "prayer list template" for TW use and distributing it on my module site. Perhaps I'll revisit that in the future.
