There isn't a supported way. If you are able to legally and technologically able to convert the book to a .docx file, you can import via the personal book builder tool.

It's worth noting that personal books aren't supported in the mobile app if you do convert any.
I went through a lot of faff learning how to convert books and making a couple (not that it's too hard) only to realise it was useless for the purpose that I'd intended - I'm not blaming Logos for that as they never suggested it was supported in the mobile app, but I made some faulty assumptions.

That was one of the factors that led me to move to the Surface Pro as my only computer or tablet. With the Surface pro my personal books are always supported on the Windows Logos program.James McAdams said:It's worth noting that personal books aren't supported in the mobile app if you do convert any.

The Apple and the Android mobile apps, of course, support no personal books at all, no matter what the source document was. A few of my personal books have become very important to my library.

There is a product out there called "Kindle Converter" that takes kindle books you own and can convert them to rtf. It does a pretty good job on most books. Then all you need to do is save as DOCX and do some tagging if you wish. Then add it to your Logos library using the normal Logos Personal Book process. It will only convert books that you own. Not rentals or library books.

can you please share us the link or the name of the company. I searched but couldn't pin point the exact product, due to a lot of search results. Thanks!
