Lexham titles that aren't in Logos or Faithlife Ebooks

I'm truly confused why there are over a dozen titles published by Lexham that haven't found their way into the Faithlife ecosystem. Why offer on kindle but not Faithlife ebooks? Anyone familiar with the logic behind this?

Here is one such book as an example (Sorry, the insert isn't working for me)

This is how I see it: Faithlife is encouraging me to buy books on different platform instead of their.

There is no logic. This is simply FL being FL and once again not putting their loyal customers first. I’m all for them selling books on kindle or other platforms but not on other platforms while excluding them from being in Logos format. FL disappointing their customers once again.

Here is the book pk47 mentioned:

To not offer all these volumes to loyal FL people is disrespectful. U listening, FL??

This question has been addressed in another thread: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/172212/994642.aspx

Essentially, FL acquired the back catalogue of Weaver Book Company (including this title) earlier this year. As they are new acquisitions, the Logos editions are still in development, but the already-existing formats are already available on Amazon and elsewhere.

(Happy to be corrected by anyone at FL if I've misunderstood).

So, I'm not sure this is an example of FL being disloyal to its customers, although I agree the situation is a bit frustrating.

Adam is right in his link to a thread where it is explained by Faithlife. You could have seen in your own Amazon link that the publisher of this print edition was Weaver, not Lexham. I belief we will see those books in the Logos environment soon (after contracts are checked and maybe amended, and - unless a book comes to the ebook store - tagging has been applied).

Adam and NB.Mick are correct. There are a number of titles acquired from Weaver that have not yet completed production in Logos format. They should be available soon.

I figured Weaver was an imprint of Lexham. Lexham is an imprint of FL.

Edit: The question is whether FL put up a Weaver page telling us of this. If they did, I never saw it. Nor did I see the previous forum thread discussing this situation. To me, this is a situation where FL would have been better served out-fronting this information in a very obvious manner: a positive for customerville, as it is for the company.

Explaining something in the forums is tantamount to not explaining it, as the information is hidden.
