Sure. http://biblekin.com http://biblekin.com Disclaimers: Heavily in Alpha stages. Should be ready for full beta in about a month. The concept is a Christian social network with an extremely heavy emphasis on daily Bible reading.

So it's a sort of mixture between accountable reading scheme for the whole bible in a year and a book club? Looks like a good start. If you can wait a couple of days I might be able to rough some design out for you. Incidentally I normally use gospelcom and blueletterbible for bible study - the former because it has a lot of versions and the later because of the hebrew/greek concordances and Strongs reference material. As you're aiming for readability it might be good to offer some variation in versions ( NASB, CEV, The Message, see eg my post http://alicious.com/2009/18-bible-translations-range/ http://alicious.com/2009/18-bible-translations-range/ or google it).

  Yeah, I plan on having multiple bible translations available by launch. I prefer NASB so that's what I'm using in the demo, but it's pretty trivial for me to add other translations.

Ok, I main try to help you for usability testing, I'm not an expert on that, but I think I have some solid knowledge of Usability.I don't know how you plan to earn money from the service, (I guess from advertising or some kind of premium service), but I can take an Hour off for that against a donation to any NGO (unesco, red cross, soudan or whatever help in third world countries) whenever you want and how much you want, as it's something about God, I have no concern you won't do that by time. I'm in the same situation like you so,it's a pleasure to help. It will definitely take more than 30 mins , if you need improvement suggestions as well, for example, when somebody click on the title bar,to jump to the next day, it count it like a completion (you should compute the average time took to read a page and compare it to the time spent on the page before loggin it as progress), you may move the create account stuff (call to action) at the top (I still have to figure out where exactly, but you can check this: http://www.bibleserver.com/index.php http://www.bibleserver.com/index.php), The layout is excellent, and I like the color, well I really won't spend that much time for any additional design and stuff like logo (peoples who read the bible don't really care about how well the site where they read it is designed, it's just distraction and the last thing you need on that kind of sites), well don't know if I said it already but, I love the layout. The next and previous option could be done better, can't help you about the Fonts. That's my 2 cents contribution, when I have more time, will take a look again. There's still room for improvement. I will probably been using the site, love it. Good luck.
