I am the Senior Pastor of a Calvary Chapel and I have a number of personal books I created that I would like to share with my School of Discipleship Students and Assisting Pastors. I would like to be able to do that across all platforms.
You can share the source files of the PB (the docx-format), but everybody needs to build the PB by themselves, there is no functionlity to share compiled PBs in Logos right now - the idea of sharing compiled PBs was around some 10 years ago but did not materialize.
You can share those docx-files on any platform you like, but you probably know that PBs currently work only on desktop (I think it's the most-voted feature request for years to change that). If you want to retain control over whom you give access to your PB source files, the in my mind ideal solution would be to make a Faithlife group for that. Of course, if you want to freely share those to everyone interested, you can simply drop them here in the forum.
Hope this helps.
Then a suggestion… I have found where the books are stored, but the name of the file is too confusing to figure out which books are which. Could you use the naming structure we create instead of remaining the PB with a code? Or give us an idea of how to name the books to fit your naming structure so we can figure out how to share them?
the cryptic names are not the problem - the PB-log will tell you which source file made it into which PB. If you don't want to look into logs: simply rebuild a PB and then you look for the newest resource in the folder: that's the PB you just built. BUT: it makes no sense sharing it with others; since they don't have a licence for this book, they can't open it. Here also Logos would need to build a way of sharing the license (or of building license-free books that could be imported by everyone via the scan command). one additional benefit of shared PBs would be: you can link from one to the other.
I have a reasonably fast computer with lots of memory (Microsoft Surface Book), and yet just switching tabs between one Bible tab and another Bible tab (already open) takes about 2-4 seconds. Other non-Bible tabs are much quicker to load. This seems to me to be a significant delay, especially when everything should already…
This would help e-ink users.
The Logos app works on Android e-ink tablets like the onyx boox and likebook models. It would be great to be able to turn off at a minimum the page turn animations, and ideally as much animation and scrolling as possible to work well on these tablets.
One of the key functions for any reader is the ability to easily flip pages. On the mobile devices this is done through assigning the function to volume buttons. This is what's the biggest inconvenience for me in using your app. Hope this will be fixed soon. The same feature is missing in Logos App. Can you please add it…
One thing that has annoyed my a couple of times is the lack of ability to copy text from the Bible Word Study Guide. It would save me a lot of time if I could just copy text from it rather than have to click on a link and go to the source document. For example: I'm writing about Peter's use of Grace - rather than have to…
