There is a lot to it, but hopefully we can make it easy for you. The following steps should assist you in this endeavor:

STEP #1 — e‑Sword. You need to have a PC with e‑Sword 13 installed on it. You can download that from here: https://www.e-sword.net/downloads.html

STEP #2 — Content. There are thousands of user-made modules already available for e‑Sword which can easily be converted for e‑Sword . Join the e‑Sword User Group where you may find what you are looking for, or if it doesn't already exist there are also tools by which you can create them! The e‑Sword User Group is here: http://www.biblesupport.com/

STEP #3 — Convert. After you have downloaded the e‑Sword module(s) you wish to convert for use in e‑Sword  you will need to run them through the e‑Sword PC Module Conversion Utility. You can download that from here: https://www.e-sword.net/extras.html

STEP #4 — Transfer. The final step is to copy the new module(s) onto your Android device. Open e‑Sword , tap the menu button on the Bible view's top toolbar, then select the "Import" menu item. Browse to the directory where you copied the converted modules into and select them. The modules will be imported, but if there are any problems with a module it will be ignored.
