Question about 'Copy Bible Verses'

Doc B · July 2010

I can get Romans 1-6 into the 'copy bible verses' window, but I can only get about 4 chapters of most books. I could get all of Galatians into the window.

Is this normal behavior, or do I have memory issues on my laptop? Is there a reason (other than making me finally memorize the number of chapters in certain books) that it varies from book-to-book how much text will go into the copy window?

(Here's what I'm up to- I'm trying to get a few books at a time into a Word doc so I can save it as a PDF so I can move it to my Kindle to read. Yes, I can get the whole thing for Kindle, but not with my notes and stuff fitted in.)

YES - its been discussed at times, there is a design limit to 150 or whatever verses, for a given copy operation.

However, there is another matter which becomes important. Typically, the publisher withhold the rights to copy more than, for example, 500 verses, and for it to be no more than 25% of the work being created etc. Many of the bibles have such limits discussed in the introductions of the work. Taken at face value, they would not permit creating a PDF that can be used in such a way. Yes, I known, sounds like a spoil-sport, but thats how Copyright and Publishing rights work out.

Even if the original work is in Public Domain, e.g. KJV, once Logos does additional tagging and markup, they then hold rights on the result, so there might be limits there too.

Sorry, not wanting to spoil your fun, but if you ask that kind of question in a public place, this can be the only kind of answer we can really offer.

I wasn't aware of copyright restrictions for personal use.

I guess I'll go to Plan B (don't know what that is yet). I don't want to break any laws.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Well, I don't know if Copyright sees any difference between personal, or otherwise.

To be honest, I'd love to do what you first described, for selected works or portions of them. The way I read it, I'm not allowed.

It would be nice if someone from Logos would speak to this, but maybe they don't want to have to.

I know on some other matters, Bob prefers to not "make rules". Not sure that applies to something like this of course.

Remembering that the resources don't belong to Logos, in general. They have licensed some rights from the Publishers or Copyright holders, but don't always have as many rights as they might want. E.G. There is still no NIV Bible for the iThings (iPhone, iPad, iPod). I have no idea if its because the holder does not wish to release such rights, or if the commercial terms are currently unacceptable. Either way, Logos can only give s a subset of all possible rights.

I am not a Laywer, so only write these things from common sense and as a user of the Logos products and services.

I am not sure what to tell you about copyrights but if you
will right click a blank space on the side of the book it will give you the
option of copying the entire book. You need to be at the start of the book with
the title visible.
