How is the Book of Mormon different from the Bible? What are the differences between the Book of Mormon and the Bible? How are they similar? What do they have in common?

Please provide an overview of the major differences. I prefer a Mormon perspective.
To understand the differences between the BOM and the Holy Bible, we first must look at these two volumes of scripture within the context of their similarities. So here is what they have in common:


They are both volumes of scripture written by prophets.
Millions of people study (and believe in) each, though manifestly at least 100X more people accept the Bible than the BOM.
They both have similar objectives: persuade people to believe in God and live peaceful/productive lives.
In terms of theology and doctrine, most of what is in the Bible and the Book of Mormon is unproveable and must be taken on faith.
Both were written over a very large span of time.


Here are the significant points of difference between the Bible and the Book of Mormon:


The Book of Mormon contains a consistent theme from start to finish: persuading people to believe and follow Jesus Christ. In the Bible, a similar theme exists in the New Testament, but it's often harder to detect in the Old Testament, and our Jewish friends would presumably conclude that there is no such theme in the Old Testament (Torah/Talmud).
The Bible has numerous sections that are non-doctrinal in nature, such as historical, proverbial, and legalistic. The Book of Mormon has elements of these as well, but is mostly either doctrinal on the surface, or contains doctrinal undertones.
Nearly all Catholics, Protestants, and Evangelicals believe that the Bible is the word of God and the BOM is not. Nearly all Mormons believe that both are the word of God.
BOM prophetic writers frequently make reference to the Bible, especially to the writings of Isaiah. The Bible makes no direct reference to the Book of Mormon, but Mormons believe there is a veiled reference to BOM peoples in John 10:16..."And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." Mormons believe that Jesus visited the people on the American continent shortly after His ascension spoken of in the Bible.
Nearly everything in the Bible takes place in the Middle East. While the Book of Mormon begins in Jerusalem, describing a family that flees the city into the desert, the vast majority takes place on the ancient American continent (long before the term "America" existed).
The Book of Mormon was translated from a single collection of ancient metal plates, and all within a single year. The Bible was pieced together over thousands of years and translated by many different people.
