Genesis to Jesus in One Hour Pre Pub, tempting but...

Michael March

This is the perfect book that I would love to buy but would only read on a dedicated reader like the Kindle or on my phone which is android.  I am very interested in this book (I may buy it anyway and hope for the best) because it looks like a great read, but I simply do not read books on computers.  Nor am I willing to read one on my kindle or phone which forces me to download each page turn like library.logos.com.  There must be some way for logos to get this to us in a form in which we can read it other than the entire logos4 program or a page at a time online.  The fact is, you can get it for about 5 bucks online in book form, and in what way would it be necessary or even advantageous for a book like this (or any number of other genres) to show up in a logos search?  

There are just so many books that are just for reading it seems a shame that logos is not getting involved in getting them to me in a meaningful way.  Having said that I can get it for 5 bucks in book form, I would happily pay the 20 pre pub for the convenience of having it on my kindle or on my phone to be able to read it on the go.

Don't take this as a slam against logos, I am a happy and satisfied customer who uses the program pretty much every day.  I just wish I could use it for more than just Bible Study, also for reading, and in the current iterations I can't (unless I get an iphone, which will not work way up in the boonies where I live).

I bought the new IPod touch and love it. If you have the resources for the Touch I highly recommend it. The screen is simply beautiful to read from, IMHO. You can save the books to it so that you can read it offline.

I personally love to read on the computer but understand those who don't. Actually, I have come to prefer reading on a computer over reading from paper in many cases.

I have long been someone who reads on LCD based devices (laptop, iPod touch, EVO) until I got my Kindle.  I admit that e-ink is significantly more pleasant reading experience than a back-lit device.

What I do is use a program called Calibre e-book management to generate files to send to my Kindle.  You can copy/paste books chapter by chapter out of Logos into Word, save the Word file and then use Calibre to convert/send to your Kindle.  A little extra work, but it allows you to keep your resources in your Logos Library and read them on a dedicated e-reader.  Of course notes and highlights don't sync to anything, but it sure makes for a good reading experience!

Wow, thanks John.  I wouldn't mind doing that extra work a bit if it gets me a way to get it on my kindle.  I'm downloading Calibre and going to see if I can follow your lead.
