Digital ESV Study Bible
The electronic edition of the English Standard Version Study Bible will soon become available for a number of Bible software applications. To that effect,
Crossway has partnered with the leading digital software providers, including Accordance, Biblesoft, Laridian, Olive Tree, and WORDsearch, to make the ESV Study Bible available with all of its notes, articles, and features.
Great to hear the ESV Study bible becoming available -hope they create an online version too. Im a mac & Accordance user (& MacSword!) but Ive found technology heading towards free online applications (like the way Google Docs is now a free online alternative to MS Word). Can you review http://live.e-sword.net/ and blueletterbible.org & biblos.com even the BST at christianity.com or NEXT from bible.org? I think this is the way digital bible study will go in the near future which is good for those of us with little cash. I liked the way Rick Meyers created the great online version of Esword as platform independent with Mac users in mind (see his FAQ). I also use the simple online bibles like the NET, WEB, NIV & NIrV from IBS and the ESV & ISV from their home websites for reference. With tabs, I find the browser itself a workable environment and I can reference newer commentators like David Guzik and listen to audio commentaries from Ray Steadman, Stuart Olyott, Chuck Smith even Spurgeon – audio resources not found on existing study software (except maybe ilumina with it’s really useful video clips. Reuben -thank you for your bible software reviews over the years.
The ESV Study Bible is already online. If you purchase a physical copy of the study Bible, you’re given a code to access the online version.

I hope the ESV Study Bible will be produced for MAC SWORD. Its a shame there isn’t a comparable E-sword for mac. The other bible programs simply cost too much.
I have a Hard copy of the ESV bible. An access code was included in my bible for online access. How do I use this code to establish online access?
