I am reading (and listening) to a wonderful android app for the Qur'an.  It
has English reading (and other languages, too) as well as an excellent
commentary!  I thoroughly enjoy it and have learned that many of the things
people say to 'bash' the Qur'an simply aren't true.

Grace & peace,
Deacon Jon Egger
