Which e-ink devices work with Logos?
Will Onyx Boox Go 10.3 work?
I use the Onyx Boox Note Air4c and Go Tablet without any issues. They run great! They run Android 11 and 13 respectively. I believe the Go 10.3 has newer Android versions so should work just fine.
Onyx Boox Go 7 black and white here - works great.
Only problem is that the physical buttons don't work natively in Logos in paged view (they do work in scrolling view, but that in itself doesn't work well on an e-ink screen).
Vote here to change that:
Flip pages with volume buttons - Logos Community
See here for a workaround, that at least on my device has some hiccups:
BUG: Page turn buttons don’t work with Logos on Boox (Android) - Logos Community
and
Logos on eInk devices. - Logos Community
I believe they have PlayStore, so it should run. See Jan's comments about the Android version.
Maybe someone else has experience with the usability, buttons etc.?
When evaluating e-ink devices, I would try to get at least Android 13 (lots of older devices are running Android 11 which is starting to get old) and try to get one with 8 gigs of RAM. If you are price sensitive, I'd take a look at the Bigme line - just make sure you are sticking within the parameters I just mentioned - particularly the RAM. I've not yet tried one with color - I'm going to try to pick one of those up before the end of the year.
Android 11 isn't even supported by the FL apps any longer. You'd have to sideload an old app version somehow (not sure if that even works.)
That also means Android 13 will be out of support in about 2 years. When you fork out $300 for a reader, maybe you want to use it a bit longer…
I've seen some devices with Android 14. That about 3 years of support, which is a bit better, but Android 15 would really be preferable, if there's a good device running that system. Or look for a device by a manufacturer that commits to updating the Android version once or even twice.
Anyone know about Logos compatibility with Bigme devices (or any other e-ink devices)?
I found this intriguing device over the weekend. Appears to combine three different tablet display technologies into a single device?! Only $200!?

For non-boox devices, check out Android version and Ram numbers. Low ram will result in a poor user experience.
Yo! That is very intriguing… It would be nice to know if this is compatible… Thanks!
android13+ + Google play store = compatibility
I’ve owned several and currently use and really like my Boox Go 7 and Go 10.3
Has anybody reported using this device with Logos? I've just begun my search into using an Android based e-ink device for my Logos reading and whatever functionality makes sense. Would even like to get an e-ink monitor for my desktop app use - which is Mac based. I've used a Supernote for about 4 years now, but its memory is limited and I have so much information on it. Additionally, I did not enjoy using the Kindle app on it. I've thought about loading it one more time to see if somehow I was not using it properly. Ultimately, I'm fairly certain I want an e-ink device that I will dedicate to Logos usage. Android seems the choice and I'm completely unfamiliar with it. Any recommendations, thoughts and experience is deeply appreciated. Peace. edit: I see that this TCL device is not an e-ink display; still would like to know experience with the screen tech and device.

Build your biblical library with a new trusted commentary or resource every month. Yours to keep forever.
I am doing a word study on ἀκολουθέω. I want to copy and paste the text from the Bible Word Study page output, that shows all the instances of ἀκολουθέω in a Bible. When I copy, I get an IMAGE, not the actual verses. There appears to be no way to simply copy the text. With every update, Logos seems to get harder and harder…
@Rick Mansfield (Logos) Do you know if Logos has any plans to produce this resource or not? The first 3 volumes are great but they refer and point to material in the 4th volume… it is like having a commentary point to excurses you cannot access. It is frustrating and has been in PrePub since 2023… why it is even a PrePub…
(1) I recently opened up my Word List (on Mac desktop) that I created to learn Greek and it had always been set to Erasmian Greek, but now it has defaulted to Koine Greek (which I don't want) and I cannot find a way to change it back to Erasmian. Currently on my laptop it still has the Erasmian Greek. Is there a setting to…
I can't find out how to prioritize books. I've watched the quickstart guide, read Logos help page and googled for help. I follow the instructions but the button or place where I should move my preferred books simply doesn't exist. I've tried everything. I've just started using Logos so it can be my mistake but I feel like…
