Kindle

It would be nice to be able to read the books I bought on my Kindle e-reader. The point of an e-reader is to be able to read books. If libraries can structure their online books to be read with an e-reader, then I am sure Logos could too, IF they made it a Priority.
Please make it a priority.
There are no more requests because the help department tells people that it "can't be done" which is obviously false. It might not be financially advantageous to be done, but it could be done,
If it was a Priority.

Logos used to have a "Send to Kindle" feature everyone loved. Unfortunately, due to a decision by Amazon and not by Faithlife, the service had to be discontinued and won't come back unless Amazon changes their rules.

@Ben Misja (Faithlife) Has anyone addressed this question recently? They are unlikely to change their minds without inquiries from Faithlife. From what I can tell, Faithlife has given no effort recently and has put this all onto Amazon to fix without prompting from Faithlife. Amazon will not address the possibility of changing the rules unless Faithlife pressures them. I understand that Amazon does not want to promote books that they have not sold. However, They allow libraries to use their platform. For just reading, Kindle has a better platform than Faithlife mobile app. More important for people like me, the Kindle device is easier on the reader's eyes and allows them to read for a much longer time. This, in turn, means they buy more books.

Would it be possible for Faithlife to reach out to Kindle and ask them? Faithlife is not a small company. A request from Faithlife will go a lot farther than an individual asking for the same consideration. I assume that Amazon would jump at the chance to allow this if it provided a profit. Since it would not cost Amazon a penny, they could charge say a dollar transfer fee. Then they could sit back and collect money for almost no effort beyond setting up the electronic pathway for the transfer.

I am sure that I am not the only one that would pay for the opportunity to read my theology books from my Kindle device. Heck, I would be glad to pay, Faithife a dollar and Kindle a dollar for each book that I transferred. It is better than paying full price for both, and I would get more reading done which, in turn, would mean I would buy more books from Faithlife.

The customer wins, Amazon wins, And Faithlife wins.
This is helping everyone.
