Are there plans to support reading Personal Books on iOS? Thank you.
Are there plans to support reading Personal Books on iOS?
Yes, but no time tables. The primary issue is syncing of personal books. Unless Logos were to utilize a third party service (such as dropbox), or charge users a service fee, this could be an expensive endeavor. Bob has said that syncing of personal books IS coming, but no time tables have been made public.
I know what Alabama says is true, and I believe Bob and the team are trying to find a reliable solution that makes sense for their business. I do hope they get it worked out sooner rather than later. Not only would it be nice to have PB's sync between computers (desktop to laptop, etc); having them sync between platforms (PC / Mac to IOS / Android) would be huge.

What if Logos added a LOCAL sync to mobile device commend that did all of the work on your computer without going through the Logos servers? You attach your mobile device as a USB device and execute Sync Mobile. Then we could do it ourselves, not as convent but gets the job done, no Logos server space used, no copyright problems.

Personally, I wouldn't prefer that solution. There aren't many apps that work that way on iOS, and only "geeks" would really know what to do. IMO, I think working with dropbox and/or iCloud is the way to go.

Yes. We are actively working on this. (Sorry, no date predictions available...)
W00T! [:)] (Can't [I'll have to] wait!)
Thank you Bob.
Logos has made Personal Books on mobile devices far more complicated than it needs to be. One should be able to sync personal books simply through iTunes. It shouldn't really involve having them on Logos servers. Dozens of other apps allow users to add books similarly - even Apple's iBooks, for goodness sake.
It is time Logos got this done. No, it is past time.

Thank you Bob for the hope. I would encourage you to give it a priority since any resources in the minor languages are possible only in the PBB way. Having them on all the platforms is a must.
Is there an update RE: Reading Personal Books on iOS?
Thanx,

It is currently on hold as per https://community.logos.com/forums/p/126859/848584.aspx#848584
We can always convert them to PDF or just load the DOCX files. There are other ways to read those files on most mobiles.
Not the same but we can READ them on iOS [or android] Just not in Logos.
These are exciting times. I appreciated all the feedback! I wonder what will happen after WWDC 2021 when Apple transitions to the final phase of Catalyst? The final phase will allow developers to create one binary that can run on all devices. The code is suppose to determine which device it's running on and render the screens accordingly. It will be interesting to see how FL handles this final phase, especially since all Apple devices will be using Apple Silicon.
I would love to have Personal Books shareable on my mobile devices only. Laridian gives the option to run locally or to sell in their book store.
BTW, I believe the new Sermon Manager can serve my purpose too.
Waiting patiently!

I wish too, but Faithlife is not ready to do that.
