This post really helped us in figuring out what was the real problem. We went with the option-1 that you mentioned & renamed our db as 'bible.db.png' & it worked. Just that the apk bloated back from 2.3 to close 6 MB, but I guess we can take that trade off. Kudos!

On my Moto CLIQ and my (and wifes) Motorola Droid 2 and several other phones, along with the emulators, this seemed to work just fine. But when I published, the complaints came streaming in. Debugging on a friend LG Ally (android 2.1), I found that the inputstream.read was throwing an exception. Maybe it was my code? Not sure, since it did work fine on some phones. But reducing the file size below the limit resolved the problem with the LG Ally. This seemed to work for me.
