Requesting user feedback: Send to Kindle feature
Development is considering implementing a 'Send to Kindle' feature for resources in your Logos library.
Before investing a significant amount of time on this item, we would like to assess user interest based on the fact that this feature would not support sending notes/highlights to or receiving notes/highlights from Kindle devices/apps (which is mentioned in the UserVoice request for this item).
Please let us know if you would still be interested in seeing this feature.

- An internet connect isn't required to read Kindle books… except perhaps to download the resource in the first place, but I'm fairly certain most of us have an internet connection for that. [;)]
- Money used for "printed matter"? [:^)]
- Kindle has "no advantage"? I'm pretty sure my chiropractor would agree with you.

- Rename the file to .zip, and extract the contents.

- Can we send over 100 pages using the proposed method?
- Kindle has a built in maximum size of a personal document that can be sent to the Kindle. Perhaps if the conversion could be to a Mobi document that could be loaded from a PC (rather than sent to a Kindle), it would be possible to get around this limitation.
- Using the normal "send to Kindle" procedure, the document cannot be sent to a Kindle app - only to a Kindle device. Again, this can be worked around by actually creating a Mobi document and then sideloading it from the PC.
- There already exists a "Send to Kindle" printer provided by Amazon - at least for the PC. I do not know if this is also available for the Mac, though I would guess it is. I just sent a 94 page document (nearly the max, unless a larger document is allowed using the LOGOS tool) without errors. The "Send to Kindle" printer also allows highlighting to be "printed", I do not know about notes.
- The "Send to Kindle" printer converts LOGOS print file to a PDF and the PDF is sent to the chosen Kindle e-reader (again, you cannot send to an app using this procedure). Note, other file formats are sent AS-IS - where AMAZON has tools on its end to convert to a more standard Mobi or Kindle format.

Please let us know if you would still be interested in seeing this feature.
Oh my. I am absolutely 100% super-interested in this feature. In fact, I spent a good chunk of yesterday exporting a couple of Logos books into html format, converting them to ePubs with Calibre, and then sending them to my Nook.
You'll have gathered from that that I would much prefer it if formats other than Kindle were supported, but I would still use this feature even if only Kindle was supported, because I can use Calibre to convert from Kindle to ePub. The Kindle->ePub bit is a one-click process, so I don't mind doing that. But the Logos->ePub process is a pain because of the 100 page limitation.
If I had one additional request it would be: please make footnotes work, as that's also very difficult with the HTML export I currently use.

Gabriel ... I'm just bouncing your question back to the top.
I don't know of instructions, though there is much discussion on the forum. Basically they export (click on the book image on top left of the resource) sections to Word. And then export that to PDF (which is copyable and mailable to Kindle as you know). I'm guessing you probably already knew this, but 'just in case'.

Do you have a set of instructions to export Logos resources for ePub conversion?
Follow the instructions Denise gave… then look up the free software program "calibre."

This is something I would definitely use. I too have spent time creating word documents of books to be able to have them converted to kindle, most recently some books of the Islamic studies collection. Direct export would be great.

YES!!! If for no other reason than to read Spurgeon on my Kindle. Coping an entire book into Word and then emailing it to my Kindle is a pain. Thanks for your desire to respond to customer requests.

I know this might be impossible (and is not actually offered) but this direction of conversion makes much more sense to me. I buy Kindle books only if there is no Logos or Vyrso version available. To get them to Logos would be great - but I know it will probably not happen from the obvious reasons [:(]

I just realized one thing that sending Logos books to Kindle might solve: the absence of Logos reader on platform like WP8. Since Kindle exists there - we would be able to read the exported books on our WP8 devices. That seams really interesting. So, yes, I am voting for the feature also. [Y]
Bohuslav
Does Logos want us to pay for internet connections or for books? Isn't an internet connection required? If it is, that really prohibits any use for this feature. The money could instead be used for for example printed matter. Kindle has no advantage over printed matter.
I'll call a couple of GSM operators and see if they still offer charge per megabyte...

not true - try to haul your 10000 book library overseas (I was fortunate to do it when M-Bag rate was $1/lb) and then back when you return to your country on furlough for a few months.
I feel your pain as far as paying per MB for internet. Used to be the same way here, now they offer an "unlimited" service, just throttle your speed to dial-up levels.

If you don't mind breaking the DRM, it's quite easy to convert from Kindle to Logos, although there are few steps.

Mark,
I did not know this! I just downloaded Calibre via your link to try it out! I'm not a very techy guy and I'm having trouble converting my Kindle book files (that I put in Calibre) to HTMLz. Either it just says "failed" or notice with a lock icon pops up about DRM?. Is there anywhere I can find more detailed instructions about this 4 step process?
Thanks again! This would be absolutely great if I could get it to work!

I might use this. I don't have a Kindle, but I use the Kindle app on my Android tablet and my iPod Touch. Last time I checked, the Kindle app was still faster on both of those platforms for turning pages and adjusting settings than the Logos app, so I prefer reading in it.
However it would be a bummer not to be able to sync highlighting.
Better yet, though -- I wish Logos would invest more time and resources into making the mobile apps faster!
I think the desktop software is a priority over that:

I don't have a Kindle,
The key benefit to this for most of us is the ability to read Logos resources on an e-Ink display. That's no longer reliably possible, even on rooted devices, as the Logos app/resources need later versions of Android than you get on e-ink displays. I've only recently bought eInk, but I'm a big fan for proper reading.
I wish Logos would invest more time and resources into making the mobile apps faster!
They've resisted that on the desktop, and they'll resist it on mobile, too. By the time they've done it, you'll be on your next Android tablet and you won't need the speed increase.

Is new Android going to use full version of Logos?
No.
Mark, what you mean by that?
I <think> he means that by the time Logos were to spend time optimizing the Android app for older hardware, the newer hardware would make the optimization irrelevant.

For me, 'Send to Kindle' would be HUGE. Thanks in advance.
Very interested in this feature, I reckon it would be much better than the experimental browser.
Yes, this feature would greatly increase the value of my Logos library regardless of the presence or absence of highlighting/notes. Monographs, especially, would suddenly become a lot more attractive in Logos.
Yes please - that would be a brilliant feature and I would use it a lot.

Despite being a hard-core Apple Mac Fanboy, I have been tempted to get an e-ink kindle. I LOVE my iPad and use it everyday… but there are times where having a more inexpensive device might be nice… (i.e. at the beach). I am also interested in the Kindle because there are a number of books which can be "borrowed" for free… but only on an actual Kindle device (rather than a Kindle app on my iPad).
The price of $69 is appealing to many people… and MILLIONS have been sold, so something that benefits only "those with eInk kindles" may likely be a very large population of the Logos community. With that said, if I could only choose one, and could choose either, it would obviously be an iPad. [:D]

I would encourage making a kindle friendly web-site view. I have used my 3g Kindle on vacations to read on the web. I am not against it being done, but just think that efforts could probably be better spent elsewhere. My $0.02. I don't think it's a bad idea...unless it scares publishers away thinking their books are less secure. Also, currently getting Logos to Kindle is pretty easy since the export tool works so well.

I'm about to turn 40 this year. I've always had perfect vision: no glasses or contacts. Spent my life in books and in front of computer screens. But within the last year or so I've been feeling a lot of fatigue and stress in my eyes when spending time in front of the computer or on my tablets. My vision is fine, it's the light constantly aimed directly at my eyes that cause the strain.
The eInk Kindle is different. It's not backlit and doesn't cause much strain for me. It's exactly like reading a book. I can easily spend twice as much time reading on an eInk screen than I can on the other tablets or computer screen. Some days after working at the computer all day I don't even feel like picking up my tablet for studying at all. That is why this feature is important to me-to spend more time studying without the strain and fatigue.
For some, having a cheap option for a portable tablet to read on is a definite advantage. I suspect a lot of us though are looking for something a little easier on the eyes-a break from the computer screens, TV screens, lighted signs, and all the other bright lights constantly blasting us. [H]

I don't know, but I would think that "export to kindle" would be an easier function to create than a "kindle friendly" web page, plus with an "export to kindle," users would have access to the resource offline, plus be able to take notes (using the kindle notes feature, not the logos one." Of course, a "kindle friendly" webpage may one day allow notes & highlights using Logos notes & highlights, which would be more useful.

I totally disagree, Jacob. I read on my iPad, but the Kindle app is a much, much better reading experience for extensive reading than the Logos app. Of course, the Logos app is better for using multiple Logos resources, word study, search, etc. But I would use the "go to Kindle" on my iPad.
Of course, there are many, many eink kindles out there too.

Exactly! Logos gives much better reading experience for any book that uses Bible references and also footnotes. Plus of course syncing is also a great advantage.

[Y][Y][Y] I would be totally interested in this feature. I've already put a bunch of my Logos books onto my kindle using Sigil and Calibre (as explained on this thread http://community.logos.com/forums/t/47210.aspx by Fr Devin Rosa). My only request would be that if Logos implemented a 'Send to Kindle' feature, that it would result in a functional table of contents, and functional footnotes. Currently this is possible by exporting to Word, then using Sigil to convert to epub, and Calibre to convert to Kindle. If the Logos feature doesn't include these functions, then I'd probably just continue doing it the long slow but effective way. Also, no interest in exporting notes or highlighting from Logos to Kindle.
By the way, I don't think the idea suggested by the OP was to send one's entire Logos library to Kindle. For most of us, the Kindle just wouldn't have anywhere near the capacity to store that many books. The idea would be to send one book at a time to Kindle, for the purpose of making it easier to read. E-ink is so much easier on the eyes than any backlit screen, whether computer, ipad, nexus, or whatever. Also, much easier to read outdoors on a sunny day! I currently have about 400 books on my Kindle. Not sure how many are from Logos, but I would guess over half. Great to carry around at only a few ounces.
Blessings.
Darcy
Absolutely. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would definitely use.
Yes please!
I would also like to see this feature!
As noted by some others, the e-ink is much easier on the eyes than the displays on computers, tablets, Kindle Fire, etc., and the advantage is even greater when outdoors. It's also much more convenient to carry a Kindle for simple reading, than larger devices.
Also as noted by some, having highlights and notes would be frosting on the cake, but now I'm begging and beggars.... well, I'll just say "yes" and "thankyou" to anything Kindle e-ink that might be considered, then I'll shut my mouth. [:#]
It's pretty clear that I'm in the minority here, but I'm not sure that I would use this feature. I have a Kindle reader (2nd gen, e-ink). I no longer use it at all. I do all my e-reading on my iPad (4th gen, retina) in either Logos or the iOS Kindle app. If it's already in Logos, I'd continue reading in Logos, if only for the ability to highlight and annotate. I suppose if somehow this made available a large chunk of my library that's not available on Logos mobile, I might consider it. But I don't see how that would be likely.
I know the e-ink is a bit easier on the eyes, but not so much (for me) as to warrant carrying two devices or not being able to highlight / annotate.

Yes, I would be very interested in a "Send to Kindle" feature for Logos resources. There are lots of Logos resources now that I wish to read cover to cover. Kindle would be a very nice way to do this.

I don't care at all if notes, highlights, or anything else can be imported. Most of the monograph-type books I have in Logos are not useful to me at all, but I would like to read many of them. I would if I had them exported to my Kindle.
I would also buy more books from Logos. I have passed up many or bought them from Amazon so I could read them on the Kindle. I would much rather Logos get my money.

I am getting into this discussion a bit late, but do have some thoughts. I hope that some of this can generate some discussion of the possibilities for LOGOS as it develops the tool suggested by Tonya last Friday.
I like the idea - with a few questions:
What might be more useful and marketable as a separate product, as well, is a "Print to Mobi" or "Print to ePub" printer (as someone noted, the conversion between the two is relatively simple with Calibre). The resulting Mobi file could be then sent to the Kindle, using the normal tools used to mail a document to one's Kindle or it could be sideloaded in a Kindle.
The advantage of ePub is that there are tools that can read an ePub file for the Kindle (at least on the Kindle Fire), but I know of no tools that can be used on a Nook to read a Kindle book.
Most of this comes from my experience - not from any insider information. As a book reviewer, I get books in a variety of formats and have worked to find methods and workarounds that allow me to send a great many files to one or more of my Kindles (a Kindle Fire and an original Kindle) for reading - either as text or to be read aloud as I drive.
Blessings,
Floyd
Pastor-Patrick.blogspot.com
I have done the export to MS Word, convert to Kindle via Calibre for a few shorter books that I would want to read on holiday and will never read on PC in Logos. A direct conversion would be great.
Yes, I would use a send to Kindle feature but like Floyd's idea better--print to epub or print to mobi/asw. I have both a nook and a kindle, but actually prefer the nook. And (as Floyd mentions) epub is not a proprietary format.
Todd -
What do you like about the Nook that is better? I have concluded the opposite, so I am interested in what your thoughts are.
It is possible that when Logos is talking about "send to Kindle" they are using that generically and may be thinking about epub or another universal format. I have no idea though.

Absolutely! This would be one of the best technological advancements Logos could make next. Even if highlighting and other features will not work this way, the Kindle's E-Ink and long battery life would make Logos book reading much easier. Thank you for looking into this!
So interested I might not sleep! Please do!
Yes, please!
Very, Very interested!
Yes. Would give me a real incentive to switch from buying ebooks from Kindle to Logos depending on price.
I would really value this feature, and would definitely increase my already bloated Logos spend.
Yes please!
For me logos has become a tool to do referencing work, rather than reading work, since it's just too painful to read long text on (compared to my kindle). I don't care about notes on kindle, since I used it for reading, not referencing.
Please give us this feature!
This would be awesome! Right now, I print the book into .txt and email it to my kindle. Would save a step -- and possibly look better (a .mobi file instead of .txt).
Also, it's time consuming, and sometimes crashes Logos, because you have to select each section of the book (which can be TONS!). Though sometimes I only want to send a piece of the book. It would be nice to at least have a "select all" box.

Suggestion: It would be wonderful if Logos would develop their own e-ink tablet that was fully functional. Just like Amazon has their own proprietary device (Kindle). The functionality of the Logos mobile app on the iPad or Andriod, combined with the easy reading of e-ink would dominate the Christian book market.

Why? That would be a quick way for Logos to go out of business. There is no way Logos could compete with Amazon, so why bother? Much larger companies like Barnes & Noble are on their death beds in the attempt.

I'm not going to go out and buy another device. I have kindle. I have a computer for Logos. If I had money to throw around on devices, I'd get a hand-held device like a Tablet (e-ink or not) to read on the go.
However, if there was a way to read Logos on Kindle, that would boost Kindle sales and perhaps give Logos some leverage.
would dominate the Christian book market.
That's not much of a market. It's been done before, Family Christian Stores came out with their own tablet, but due to economies of scale it wasn't anywhere near the capabilities of similar devices in its price range. In fact, I'm fairly sure that even Amazon sells Kindles at a loss and make up for that in book sales. Logos has nowhere near the market size (nor capital, I imagine) to sell an e-ink tablet at a remotely competitive price.
Before investing a significant amount of time on this item, we would like to assess user interestTonya, are ~175 positive replies to a post on the forums (and 480 votes on uservoice) considered to be a good indication that users are really interested? Is this sufficient for Logos to go ahead and "invest a significant amount of time" on this feature? Appreciate an update. Thanks!
Development is considering implementing a 'Send to Kindle' feature for resources in your Logos library.

Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.
Would be a VERY nice feature!
Sure, that would be a great feature!
I definitely would use often a Send to Kindle feature.
I would be interested, especially if I could acquire a paperwhite during a black friday sale. Let me know and I will start saving my pennies. [:D]
