Can you make a Logos Paper-White?

Anthony DeRosse

I think Logos/Faithlife should make their own version of a Nook or Kindle paperwhite. I'm talking, it's got the Logos logo on it and it syncs to each users llibrary. Can Logos please consider doing this?

Most software companies are smart to stay out of the hardware business. It's extremely expensive, especially up front during the design and initial production stages. And if the device is not a hit, you're stuck with huge losses.

If you're wanting an e-Ink experience of your Logos Library, consider buying one of the various Boox devices and loading the Android Logos app on it.

Yep. unless unique, hardware is low-margin, needing high volume/cross-purchasing. I'm a PW'er. My Voyager just died, my first Oasis is limping along, my original PW works, and my bigger Oasis is happy.

Faithlife has an odd equation, already mobile dependent (another platform?), and server-heavy. I wonder if BN 's Nook could be contracted, or too competitive. Risky.

I love my Oasis for the page-turn buttons. I often have books in both Logos and on the Kindle because I want to read something on the Kindle.

I would really like it if Logos would do this, but I appreciate the issues of getting into the hardware business. I have wondered more than once if they could white label with Boox, but again, I know this is not an easy space to get into.

What would be great is to have some resources on the Logos website on 'highly recommended' devices, kind of maybe in a 'Sweet Setup' vibe. I am looking for an eInk device and will likely go with Boox, but it is not straight forward to find the information you need to make an informed purchasing decision.
