New Feature: Send to Kindle
Comments

How Do I send a book to my wife's Kindle, when I have already activated my own Kindle?
You can't. Logos is for "one user." Faithlife has graciously interpreted that to include a spouse, so long as the spouse isn't in full time vocational ministry. If you want your wife to be able to have access to the books, she will have to have access to your account.
For licensing and security reasons, Faithlife only allows you to have one email address associated with your "send to kindle." If your wife is using the same Amazon Kindle account, she should be able to download the resource from her device... or you can use the Amazon "manage your device" page... but you can't "send to kindle" from Logos to two separate accounts.
Make sense?

It makes sense, but it also makes you wanna suggest that maybe Logos could consider a solution like Apple and Amazon both have: Family sharing. [;)]

I wouldn't be surprised if that required rewriting their contracts with publishers.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Quick answer - you don't. You hand her your Kindle 'cause after all you are one flesh so you co-operate to your collective benefit.
That isn't necessarily true. I tried explaining it in my post above this (after you posted), but I don't know if I did a good job. I just looked it up, and this is what I can report... As long as he and his wife have the same Amazon Kindle account, he just needs to do the following:
- Go to your Manage Your Content and Devices page on Amazon.com
- Click on the "your content" tab
- Filter "show" to "docs" (Logos books are emailed to amazon as "documents")
- Select the document (book) he wants her to be able to read.
- Click on the "actions" button for that document
- Click "deliver"
- Select her kindle device.
The document (book) will be delivered to her device. Again, this only works when your spouse is using the same account (which is different than the email addresses used for "send to kindle.")

For Apple, publishers have to agree... and not everything is "share enabled." I am unaware of Amazon's sharing program. Have a link?

Is there anywhere to reveal what my registered kindle email address is with logos either in the program or online? I changed all my devices addressees so I could easily identify them but this obviously broke this feature in logos.

sure. The "mobile devices" section of your profile on logos.com. The same info <might> be found within the "about" section of L6.

I made sure the address shown in the book info page matches my kindle. Amazon makes it really easy to edit this email address.
And it worked like a charm.

I think there is a size limit of 50MB. Check if the resource you are trying to send does not exceed this limit

This is AMAZING!! I just sent a book to my Kindle that I need to read to do a book review on, for Seminary. I really like having all my library in Logos for research, but being able to take a book like this on my Kindle is invaluable for just plain reading. It even makes a table of contents, if you use the "go to" option and choose it. Thank you SO MUCH for adding this feature!

I have also fallen in love with this feature!

Can you send your kindle books to your logos library?

Welcome! [:)]
Can you send your kindle books to your logos library?
It depends upon what you mean by "can." If you mean, is there a simple way that is Amazon and Faithlife approved, the answer is no. If you mean "is it possible," the answer is possibly. The personal book builder takes any microsoft .docx file and imports it as a book.

Sorry for bumping this topic, but I accidentally spelt my kindle email wrong and can't change it. Can someone help me?

Logos support need to change it for you.... [;)]

you can also go to https://www.amazon.com/myk and set the email address on your kindle device. You could just change the email address on your kindle to the misspelled address you submitted to amazon.

At the price we pay for a base package, we should be able to read it anywhere we like. I don't give away, lend out or share anything. But I'm not able to sit in a chair for extended periods and need to be able to read in bed.
If Faithlife set limits, I'll respect them, of course. But I don't get a sense that I should be tiptoeing around about putting logos resources on my Kindle.

Hi Gerhard
Are there any specific issues you are experiencing?
If so please provide some details

Has Logos put a cap on how many books can be sent to kindle? Or did they remove this feature in the latest update, Because I am unable to send books anymore. I thought perhaps it was just that particular resource, but then I surveyed a dozen others, all with no ability to send to kindle. I have used this feature quite a few times so I know how it works, unless they have changed the procedure for sending each book. Any help would be great, this has been such a wonderful feature that has greatly enhanced the usability of my Logos library (and I just bought several books for a class next semester with the express intention of reading them on my kindle, so I am hoping there is a fix for this.)

No and No.

Which resources? Have you tried restarting your computer?

Well I restarted the computer and that seems to have taken care of it. maybe I was clicking only on resources that weren't available to send to kindle. The particular one I wanted was
Hays, J. Daniel. Message of the Prophets: A Survey of the Prophetic and Apocalyptic Books of the Old Testament. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2010.
But flipping through this it seems to have a lot of pictures so maybe it is too hard to format in kindle.
Whatever the case, thanks for the help, glad to see this feature is still working.

Two things:
- Amazon has a limit on the file size that can be sent. If the book would be larger than Kindle allows, the book isn't "kindle enabled."
- Due to publisher restrictions, MOST books that are "mobile enabled" are "kindle enabled," but not all.
- If a book isn't "mobile enabled," it isn't "kindle enabled."

I have been searching for instructions on how to export a book to kindle, but cannot find anything. I have done it in the past but can't remember now how I did it
Can you point me to the instructions somewhere? Thanks

Will this work with an Amazon.ca account (i.e. Canadian Amazon account)? If so, can I link both my .com and .ca addresses with my Logos account?
