From the Crossway blog:

The ESV Student Study Bible was simultaneously published in print and online formats. The Online Student Study Bible is hosted through ESVBible.org and functions as a study module, similar to the formats of the ESV Online Study Bible and the Online Literary Study Bible. With notes, book introductions, maps, and specially written articles, it’s a portable, easy-to-use tool to compliment your free ESVBible.org account.

Normally on sale for $9.99, you can unlock the Online Student Study Bible for free by sharing it with five friends. Here’s how:

  1. Log in to your ESVbible.org account (or register for free)
  2. Click on the add content button at the top
  3. Click on “Student Study Bible Notes”
  4. Click on the “Invite 5 friends” link
  5. Submit 5 e-mail addresses and the Student Study Bible notes and resources will be unlocked – use and enjoy!

(I know, not really "Software".. Sorry)

  • Software version of ESV is generally free - I think that is the policy of Crossways. It is a smart way to promote use of the version and encourage sales of print copies.

    ESV is free to download with eSword. There are also free ESV reader apps for Android and iOS.

  • Yeah. Most software distributions allow you to download ESV for free, but I guess in this case it's more than just the text itself but also other "supplement material".

  • There's a great App on iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows phone etc that allows you to download the ESV and several other versions, plus the NIV online only. It's called YouVersion.

    See http://www.youversion.com/

    Or they say "From your mobile device, go to… youversion.com/download"
