Vyrso or Vyrso-Like Reader for Windows

I would like to see a standalone reader for Windows. Now, yes, I know we have Logos for that. Let me explain.

Sometimes I just want to read a book, I don't want all of my study tools, this is especially true with textbooks for school. Logos taxes the system a lot for just reading.

Also, this would allow users with cheap Windows tablets that may not be able to run Logos full blown, and may not always have a connection to the web, to still enjoy reading their library.

I think that is a great idea.

I, like you, would like to just read a book at times with just a basic interface (or reader).

There is a Prepub entry for a Windows app - https://www.logos.com/product/50060/windows-universal-bible-app - but not generating much entry at the moment.

Yeah I know about that, but that is even more than what I am talking about. I'm literally talking about an app that is just for reading. Essentially a "floating window" like approach minus all of the datasets, etc. OR, a way to open Logos resources outside of the Logos environment.

For some (most?) resources you can use the "Send to Kindle" feature and then read them in a Kindle app.

Would that give you what you want?

I think David is referring to a program (app) that will work within Windows (and Mac) without the overhead or bells and whistles of the standard Logos Desktop program. The Vyrso app on the mobile platform is a stripped down version of the Bible apps. Is it possible to create such a program for the desktop?

If I'm wrong David, please correct me.

I think you are correct

And the best option I know of at the moment is the Windows Kindle app

I would agree. UNFORTUNATELY Amazon, in all their wisdom, doesn't allow you to send personal docs to the Windows App. Only mobile (I don't have a device) or an actual Kindle (don't have a device anymore). So no that does not work unfortunately.

Not home to check this but it could work. Use Send-to-Kindle, sign into Amazon Cloud, download the file from there and try opening it with the Kindle4PC app. A simple double-click should open it in the right program or right-click, select Open With, and Kindle4PC should be an option to open the file (if you have it installed, of course [:)]).

Yes, you can do this, though for users who have never had a Kindle or mobile device this would not be an option because they would not have a "Send to Kindle" email address.

True; I didn't think of that.

Is the right side of Biblia.com enough for reading ? Column can be stretched so only one resource is visible.

Caveat: Biblia.com needs internet access.

Keep Smiling [:)]
