New Feature: Send to Kindle
Note: This feature will be retired on 3/31/16. See this post for details.
What is it?
Link your Kindle account to Logos and send your favorite resources to your mobile device. This gives you more freedom in how you interact with your digital library.
How it works
After linking your Kindle account information with your Logos account, you can send individual books to your Kindle device from the resource panel menu (within the software). All bible references should open in the Lexham English Bible.
A kindle.com email address must be assigned to the account by entering “set kindle to #####@kindle.com” into the command box. Note: You cannot unlink your Kindle account once it has been linked. Please be sure to check your kindle.com address carefully before submitting.
- The Send to Kindle email address must end in kindle.com. You can check the address at Amazon.com > Manage Your Content and Devices > Your Devices.
- Also, you must add “noreply@logos.com” to your Approved Personal Document Email List at Amazon.com > Manage Your Content and Devices > Settings.
- The “Send to Kindle” link is found on the Resource Information tab (i) of each resource (but not Personal Books).
How do I get it?
Send to Kindle Feature is available in all crossgrades and base packages.
For more information, see these 5.3 Beta threads: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/91816.aspx, https://community.logos.com/forums/t/91952.aspx
Comments
- A publisher licensing restriction.
- A technical reason / limitation (i.e. file would be too large and Amazon wouldn't allow it).
- A "new" resource (i.e. FL hasn't made the "send to kindle" version yet... <normally> this is within a week of a resource being released... but not always).
I'm not getting that option. What I get is this. As you can see it says devices and I have the option to manage devices, but not to download to kindle as I see you do. When I click on manage devices I'm sent to the website and I see that my kindle is connected. Any ideas? Thanks.
If you follow the instructions (see link),..that is all you have to do!

You manage your device (Kindle) on the Amazon site!
Hope this will help.

First, welcome to the forums! [:)]
The very first post in this thread (SEE HERE) explains what "send to kindle" is about and how to set it up. Did you follow the instructions? If you are still having troubles, it might be best to create a new thread, explain your issue clearly (including steps taken), and provide adequate details.
Also note: Not every resource is "send to kindle" enabled. Three possible reasons:

Is this feature continuing for new publications? As new releases of the Concordia Commentary come out, they no longer show the "Send To Kindle" feature after months have gone by even though they are smaller and have the same support info. They used to come out in a timely, orderly manner. One of the reasons I upgraded was for this feature.

it would be best to create a new thread in the general forum with specific titles to get attention

Good Morning. Did that first back in October with no response.
You may need to find and "bump" the thread.

Just another question regarding Kindle...
Is it possible to read Personal Books (created within Logos6) on Kindle?
Thanks.
There are several ways to read this question. The answer to most is "no." If you are asking about a REAL kindle (eInk), you can send documents to kindle w/o assistance from Logos using the email. You can't send a Logos Personal Book Builder book to kindle (but you could use the other method describe). If you mean a Kindle Fire & Logos mobile app (which isn't what this thread is about), personal books aren't currently "mobile enabled."

Thanks.
I have a Kindle (Paperwhite). I have send my Personal Books (made by 'Personal Book Builder' Logos 6 (My Logos 6 is in Dutch so the definition might be different)) through Email to my Kindle address. So this works out perfectly.
The only thing is that I cannot read my Bible references on my Kindle Paperwhite. The Bible references show up, but connect to internet when touched. I prefer to have downloaded the Bible references within my Personal Books.
If this is not the correct thread about the subject,...I apologize...
But I understood from your answer that this is not possible....(hopefully) yet!
@alabama24....Already did that in October and into November.

Do it again and I'll see what I can do to get a response.

Can you explain how you did this? They way I understand you is, you first compiled the PB in Logos 6 and then sent it to Kindle, is this right? Did you find your PB on the hard drive and sent that?

It would be better to create your own thread and ask what you need to know.
