E-Sword is a freeware program that also has greek modules you can
download. (http://www.e-sword.net/) Unfortunately, it's Windows-only,
but there's a Windows CE (pocket pc) version, as well. The only issue
some may see with it is that the texts are not well marked as to
edition. At least not for scholarly academic purposes. For reading, they
should be just fine.

Best,
