Read Logos resources on Kindle Scribe
I know this has been discussed a few times in this forum, but I have not seen one with an answer from Logos - only responses from other users. I am curious to know if Logos has actually looked into releasing "an app" for the Amazon Kindle Scribe so Scribe owners can read their Logos resources on their Kindle Scribe. I know the Scribe is an e-ink device that is locked, but I assume Amazon still allows development for it (though I have not looked into that). I already own an iPad and a laptop, so I obviously have options. I just would love to be able to access my Logos resources on a device that is easier on the eyes. Hoping for a concrete response on whether this has actually been explored by Logos and/or if it's in the roadmap for future development. Thank you.

It would also be good if Logos would allow a Logos App to be available on Kindle Fire.
(The App seems to work better and do more than a web page, which is available on Kindle Fire.)

The Logos mobile app is already available for Kindle Fire devices.

Bernard,
That's terrific news, thank you!
I don't find it in the Kindle Fire App Store. I'd love to know where and how to get it. Any hints or ideas?
Thank you,

There used to be an option to export Logos resources via "Send to Kindle". Amazon was the one who took this ability away. Why make it easier for you to buy from a competitor?
You can still export to a word document and either email it to your kindle, or by using a tool such as Calibre to convert Word documents to formats such as .epub and then send directly to your kindle via USB.

Try the link here: https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008938592-Download-and-Install-the-Logos-Mobile-App
If it doesn't show up on your tablet's app store, I wonder if your Fire is quite old and might not be compatible anymore?

Bernard,
The Kindle Fire I am using now is two years old, maybe that's the issue. It does look like it would be in the App Store, when I look it up, several names for Logos do show up - but not the software.
I recently gave someone a new Kindle, I'll have them take a look in case this is the issue.
And of course I'll try the link you gave — it sure looks like a good option; so a big thanks to you!
Thank you for getting back to me!

My fire tablet was purchased 11/23. I know in terms of tech that's ancient but I don't consider that to be too old.
The app worked just fine until around December. Then it kept freezing up. I uninstalled it but it when I tried to reinstall it, it said it was not compatible. I've reinstalled the Kindle to factory settings a couple times (did it again just now just in case something changed), but it stills says not compatible.
Bringing Logos up in Amazon also says it's not compatible.
I bought the tablet primarily to use Logos on. I've been using the web app since and it works but it's not ideal. You need a constant internet connection.

According to https://community.logos.com/kb/articles/537 you need Fire OS 8, which is based on Android 11, but the newest Android version is 15. And that is exactly the problem: Fire OS is always based on older versions of Android. So the problem with Logos not working even on devices that are just a couple of years old is not caused by Logos, but by Amazon.
