The Good Bookr is a Bible reader for the Sony PSP, based on the open source Bookr ebook reader.
Unlike other Bible releases for the PSP, The Good Bookr is a standalone compiled program, not a set of images or web pages.

It also uses Danzeff OSK for the search interface.
It was one of the contest entries for the Neo Summer Coding Compo 2008 (PSP Applications, 2nd place).
