When is Logos 4 adding support for PBB Formats?
Thanks!
Logos has added Personal Books. They are in L4 format not in the old L3 format.
Press F! on your keyboard and type "personal books" in the space. The alternative is to go to "Tools" then choose "personal Books" and in the far right hand corner select the question (?) mark.
So the books at sites like the one below mention that Logos 4 is adding PBB support for them, and show a link to the 2011 Logos release plan. Does anyone know when the support is coming for these type of books?

It isn't. The still truth site is being updated to support sharing of source files until Logos completes the share feature.
MJ Smith,
I didn't understand what you wrote. Could you explain?
thanks

The Libronix format Personal Book Builder (the ones you presently find on StillTruth) must be recompiled to work with Logos 4. They can't be "converted" or run under an emulator in Logos 4. Some people are working on some titles from the source file level. If you need immediate access to these I suggest you keep both Logos 4 and Libronix 3 on your computer. They are both good but different programs.
Thanks,
Are there other places where people are working to put materials that are out of copyright into .docx format for Logos use?
None of which I'm aware Zach.
A few have even begun to show up. http://www.stilltruth.com/topics/docx should take you there.
Thanks for that link, Thomas. If I forget it, is there a way to navigate to it from the StillTruth homepage? Perhaps you could add a link along the menu bar?
I'll try to get that on the menu bar Rosie. Thanks for the idea.

Thank you!
The Files forum has many Personal Book (PB) threads with docx files.

We're still finalizing the policies. But in general, the bookstore is for your own content. If users start uploading public domain stuff we haven't done yet, it will destroy the market for high quality editions we might do. This ends a major source of revenue for Logos, and limits all the user's to possibly lower-quality editions. If we fight quality by allowing multiple people to submit their own editions of the same PD books, now the store gets cluttered with hard-to-distinguish multiple editions of the same works. You might take notes on a low quality edition and then find a higher quality edition available later, and then want to move your notes from one to another. And to distinguish between good/bad editions people would start building "brands" of editions (even if the brand was just their name), and then we're creating a big free-for-all marketplace that generates no revenue.
