E-Reader Compatible with Vyrso?

David R. Bess

Is there an e-reader that is compatible with Vyrso?  I Vyrso on my iPad, but I can't read it outdoors.  I'd really like to read Vyrso books on my Kindle whitepaper, but if that's not possible I'd consider another e-reader.

Any suggestions are welcome!

It seems you are asking about an e-Ink device. Currently, those on the market typically do not allow the installation of apps. You'd need to "root" a device running a version of Android (2.3 and above) and install the Vyrso for Android app. In another tread, a user describes success with a Kobo Aura HD device, theoretically a Tolino Shine would work, too.

Yes, I'm asking about an e-ink device.  Sounds like it would be a chore to get it to run on any kind of portable device other than an iPad or an iPhone.

I was hoping there was a simple way to import Vyrso books into a Kindle or other e-ink device.  Sounds like there may not be.

Mark Barnes, one of our forum MVPs, posted a way to do this at http://community.logos.com/forums/t/73279.aspx 

EDIT: I've just tried Mark's method on a Logos book and it works fine.

Thanks again, Mark

No. Vyrso runs fine on any newer Android-driven portable device that allows installation of apps, which includes many smartphones and pads, including Kindle Fire etc.

The point is that most e-readers / e-ink devices are sold by book retailers under a business model that requires locking the users into the respective retailer's ebook shop, which they do by locking down installation possibilities. This also keeps down support cost and warranty cases (most apps are not compatible with an e-ink environment).

That's a totally different question from running Vyrso on these devices. The most easy way would be to install Send to Kindle as a printer driver, others include printing to Word or PDF and sending/moving the document over. Apart from a page restriction (100 pages per print job, which may be a different chunk of text, depending on your text display size) that's convenient and fast, however it removes the book from the Vyrso environment, which affects syncing, highlighting etc.
