Vyrso or Vyrso-Like Reader for Windows
I would like to see a standalone reader for Windows. Now, yes, I know we have Logos for that. Let me explain.
Sometimes I just want to read a book, I don't want all of my study tools, this is especially true with textbooks for school. Logos taxes the system a lot for just reading.
Also, this would allow users with cheap Windows tablets that may not be able to run Logos full blown, and may not always have a connection to the web, to still enjoy reading their library.

I think that is a great idea.
I, like you, would like to just read a book at times with just a basic interface (or reader).

There is a Prepub entry for a Windows app - https://www.logos.com/product/50060/windows-universal-bible-app - but not generating much entry at the moment.

Yeah I know about that, but that is even more than what I am talking about. I'm literally talking about an app that is just for reading. Essentially a "floating window" like approach minus all of the datasets, etc. OR, a way to open Logos resources outside of the Logos environment.Graham Criddle said:There is a Prepub entry for a Windows app - https://www.logos.com/product/50060/windows-universal-bible-app - but not generating much entry at the moment.

For some (most?) resources you can use the "Send to Kindle" feature and then read them in a Kindle app.
Would that give you what you want?

I think David is referring to a program (app) that will work within Windows (and Mac) without the overhead or bells and whistles of the standard Logos Desktop program. The Vyrso app on the mobile platform is a stripped down version of the Bible apps. Is it possible to create such a program for the desktop?
If I'm wrong David, please correct me.

I think you are correct
And the best option I know of at the moment is the Windows Kindle app

I would agree. UNFORTUNATELY Amazon, in all their wisdom, doesn't allow you to send personal docs to the Windows App. Only mobile (I don't have a device) or an actual Kindle (don't have a device anymore). So no that does not work unfortunately.Graham Criddle said:Erwin Stull, Sr. said:I think David is referring to a program (app) that will work within Windows (and Mac) without the overhead or bells and whistles of the standard Logos Desktop program.

Not home to check this but it could work. Use Send-to-Kindle, sign into Amazon Cloud, download the file from there and try opening it with the Kindle4PC app. A simple double-click should open it in the right program or right-click, select Open With, and Kindle4PC should be an option to open the file (if you have it installed, of course [:)]).

Yes, you can do this, though for users who have never had a Kindle or mobile device this would not be an option because they would not have a "Send to Kindle" email address.Yasmin Stephen said:David Taylor Jr said:UNFORTUNATELY Amazon, in all their wisdom, doesn't allow you to send personal docs to the Windows App. Only mobile (I don't have a device) or an actual Kindle (don't have a device anymore).

True; I didn't think of that.

Is the right side of Biblia.com enough for reading ? Column can be stretched so only one resource is visible.
Caveat: Biblia.com needs internet access.
Keep Smiling [:)]
