And welcome to the forums.
Is there a way, yes. Is there an easy legal way...not that I know of.

Some thoughts:
- Creating basic personal books isn't difficult, but you can easily kill a lot of time perfecting it. The brief overview is that you use Word .docx files and "compile" the book within Logos. Here is a link to the wiki: https://wiki.logos.com/Personal_Books
- Converting books from another format to the .docx file isn't "easy," but it isn't necessarily hard either. A popular, free converter is called calibre.
- The problem isn't really #1 or #2, but getting around the DRM that the publisher and/or reseller has added to the book.
- The legality of breaking DRM is hotly debated and the actual legality will depend upon your jurisdiction (i.e. Laws in the EU are different than the US).

Actually, there's a lot more to Calibre than that, but that is one of the chief functions it performs. And #1 is the real killer - be prepared to commit hours to each book if you want more than just the text in your PB.
As to #4.... this isn't christiandiscourse.com so I will refrain from commentary on the facts, other than to say that they are correctly cited.
