I downloaded a personal book if PBB format from the internet. How do I get it into my library so that I can read it there?
PBB format is supported by Libronix or Logos version 3. Logos 4 uses another format and is incompatible with PBB.
If you mean that you downloaded a .docx file, you will need to compile it into Logos4 format by opening Logos4, clicking on Tools>Personal Books>Add Book and filling out the necessary info for the book's title, author, provide .docx file location, etc. and then hitting "Build Book"
In the (near?) future, all of this hassle can be avoided as one could download the compiled Personal Book from a "Store" similar to Kindle or Apple Store.
Michael, check out the ollowing link to the relevant wiki page, and that will tell you how to build Personal Books in Logos: http://wiki.logos.com/Personal_Books
PS - Apologies for the duff hyperlink - I'm typing this off an iPad.
downloaded a personal book
which book from where..?
The instructions will vary depending which Version of Software you are using..
The book I downloaded was from http://www.stilltruth.com/blog/joekreif/works-fbmeyer-pbb-format
The book was Prophet of Hope by F B. Meyer http://www.stilltruth.com/blog/joekreif/works-fbmeyer-pbb-format
I am using Logos 4.
sadly these are not compatible with the latest software (v4) they will need to be recompiled from the source material - I dont know if Joe is still active around these forums
It's not compatible with Logos 4, but one solution is to install Logos 3 (aka Libronix), which is free and still available here: http://www.logos.com/support/downloads/ldls, though no longer supported by Logos.
Then download the PBB into your C:\Program Files (x86)\Libronix DLS\Resources folder, open Libronix, press Ctrl+L to open the library, start typing the title of the book and you'll see it show up, click on the title to open it.
You can either continue to read it there, or if you want it integrated into your Logos 4 Library, copy and paste the entire text from there into a Word document (.docx format), and build it as a Logos 4 Personal Book (see here for instructions: http://wiki.logos.com/Personal_Books)
EDIT: It took me 3 minutes since I still have Libronix installed, so I did it for you.
5355.The Prophet of Hope - Studies in Zechariah (F.B. Meyer).docx
(It's public domain; the original images for the book can be found here: http://www.archive.org/stream/prophetofhopestu00meye#page/n6/mode/1up; you can find a cover image for it by searching "prophet of hope" "f.b. meyer" on Google Images, but those are all probably copyrighted covers so I'm not offering them here)
