Make Biblia.com more like a cloud app

I think it would be useful to expand biblia.com into a full-fledged cloud app as opposed to the bare reader it is presently. What I mean is the integration of features such as Passage Guide or looking up lemmas. The advantage of this app would be to make app features available on any device that has Internet access regardless of platform, browser etc. For instance, could this be the easier solution to the constant request for exportation of Logos titles to the Kindle?

This has been tried in the past (at http://library.logos.com). This thread might help: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/22247/166210.aspx#166210

Thanks Mark, but the thread you linked to is from 2010. I'd like to think there should be opportunity to revisit the question...

Moreover, neither library.logos.com nor biblia.com function like real apps. They are more like browser readers. By way of comparison, the Kindle cloud app has its own settings and options. It has built-in functionalities such as highlights, annotations and dictionary lookup. In other words, it behaves like the desktop application though it is located in the cloud. I don't mean to say that a logos cloud app should have the power of the desktop version, but that it should have the functionalities of the apps such as Android's or IOS'.

BTW, to be added to the list of potential users would be those who use chromebooks.

The beta version of library.logos.com used to function like that, but development was abandoned. I've struggled to find a screenshot of it in action, this is the best I could do:

library.logos.com still is functional, with Passage Guides, Bible Word Study, etc. Click on the ellipsis icon (...) to get to those features.

Good to know, but still not quite up to the functionalities true apps provide. For instance, I looked up the BHS in Chrome on my Android tablet and had this very lousy font. Secondly, you can't work directly from the text as you can in the app. For instance, you cannot select a word to look up lemma and parsing.
