E-Sword for Ubuntu Project

I find myself using Linux more and more on my laptop to a point that the only reason I switch to Windows is because of e-Sword.

The only way at this time to use e-Sword under Ubuntu is via Wine (>300MB). Which is not an option for my limited linux space.

The best solution is to write my own graphics software (qt?) in Ubuntu that reads e-Sword's modules. However, it seems that it is a hassle to do that with MS Access database, which is the format of those modules. Unless I can find a way to read access database directly from Ubuntu, the only way to handle it is to convert those database to a linux-friendly one (CVS, mysql, etc.)

The plan:

Learn QT -> Read CVS/etc. files -> Convert all modules -> Possibly remove/backup former modules to save space.
