Hi DM, LcdBible has a 'target audience' of obsolete computers (early Pentiums and 486's with 640*480 VGA resolution) such as those donated to missionaries. IMHO, to be usable, software needs to 'launch' relatively quickly (1 sec preferred, 5 sec max) and also perform flexible searching quickly (as above).
My daughter just got back from a missionary trip to Burkina Faso in Africa and her experience was just exactly what you described. An old donated, end-of-life laptop with intermittent connectivity when the electricity was available. We got 4 short emails (which were composed offline) because of these difficulties.
JSword would not have been a download option. It might not have been an installation option from a CD.
My response to the thread was to Davy, who is putting together a Linux distribution CD. It was not to suggest that JSword was an appropriate LCD application.
Humorous aside, at the airport to come home, she realized that she had a Swiss army knife in her bag and had to leave it there. She gave it to the missionary, who did not have such basic tools and was very appreciative to receive it.
For His glory and honor, Lynn Allan
