Logos Bible Software Kindle
Tertulio Searcy
I think I've got my answer based on some general searches, but I was wondering if there were ways for me to export a book for me to load onto my kindle for personal use?
It seems like I'm only allowed to copy 1000 verses or paragraphs at a time from the "Save Text Selection" option.
I've been very happy with accordance, but one of my colleagues uses Logos and is able to export whole books to his kindle device. It's made me feel like I should just shift to logos, which essentially does what I do on accordance, but also allows me the option to be a great reader (as I can move it to my kindle etc.). I've been trying it out, but I'm reasonably invested in accordance already, so wouldn't want to make the jump irrationally.
I was wondering if I could do this with accordance however? I would primarily want to do this with certain purchases like the NSBT series (which is mostly theological reading as opposed to specific commentaries etc.).
The answer I seem to be getting is that this violates copyright... Which I totally understand and I wouldn't personally want to do that. However, I should be in my right to use what I have purchased for personal use.
For example, I've been able to move my kindle ebooks that I've purchased into other readers (such as accordance).
Hope this makes sense!
Rui, do you have a tablet? Android or iOS? I use my iPad as an Accordance reader and I find it has much more functionality than my Kindle. Instant details for every live link is an indispensable function that you wouldn't have on Kindle. In addition you have filtered searches, parallel panes, TOC, graphics and access to your whole library (with a few exceptions). You can even have a kindle app on your tablet if you need that. I'm sure you're aware of all this so am wondering why this would justify you leaving Accordance when there is a perfectly good alternative?
Hi Paul!
Thanks for the reply. Yes! I do use accordance on my tablet/phone. But only for language and focussed study of the Bible.
When I want to just do some reading, I'd rather look at my kindle (e-ink), as well as have a bit of separation from such devices at night: Hence why I'd do such things only for certain texts, not an actual commentary (e.g. NSBT books etc.).
Nevermind... It looks like this is just a mobile app for android, not an actual Kindle e-ink reader.
That, or I'm a big confused with how to get it onto my kindle. I've done a bit of research, but can't seem to get it to work...
To clarify - I'm not simply wanting to read on a "tablet", I'd like to read on a Kindle Paperwhite (A relatively new one). My tablet is the iPad, and I use a laptop as well... But for general reading, I'd like to read on my Kindle Paperwhite.
So, with that, the only way you can do it is by simply doing a copy and paste method into a word processor, e.g., MS Word, and then save it as a pdf document. If the Logos resource has images in it, then that could possibly be problematic.
There is a program called Simple Bible Reader that does convert Logos bible modules to other formats, I am not sure if this can used for Logos books however.
You can download the program from this link:
-call...e-bible-reader/
On the page I posted the link to it lists the 3.0 version of the Simple Bible Reader, you might try right clicking the link for the program and the select saves from the right click menu to save the file. The program comes in compressesed zip file so you will need a zip file utility to extract Simple Bible Reader.
If you can make it work that way let me know I will email the program to you
" The disk has a program that needs some fancy registration process. I don't know if it will work."--you have to determine which version. If it installed on another PC that would help also because you might have to make a registration file for certain older logos program.
"If they have a free software, that would be easier" --you can download latest logos basic ed. for free. If you have an account w. logos, registration, they can give you those bks.
