Faithlife have announced that on 31 March 2016, they're disabling their "Send to Kindle" service. That means you won't be able to automatically send Logos resource to Kindle. There's good news though. You can still send Logos resources to a Kindle device, it just takes a little longer (about 10 minutes per resource). These walkthrough will guide you through that process.
And there's more good news: It's a lot simpler than it used to be in Logos 5 days.
First, here's the video: https://youtu.be/ANfakC6QSlw
Or, if you prefer, here are instructions:
That's it! The whole process should take less than 10 minutes.
You are a champ, Mark Barnes.

Thanks, Mark! Great summary and video.
FWIW - maybe I've just had bad luck, but I've found that I won't get a fully native Kindle Table of Contents, even having applied Heading 1, 2, etc., unless I actually create a Word "table of contents" at the very end of the document.
Thanks so much for sharing Mark. It will offer hope to many.

I don't have a kindle yet, but I will when Amazon create a bigger kindle. So, this is great!
Has anyone tried this on a Mac? If I type "Page i-9999" in the reference box and press enter, I get no response, and I can't get the send to kindle printer to show any paper size bigger than A4 in Logos.
Does this method preserve internal footnote functionality where footnotes in the text on the Kindle appear as clickable links that display the footnote as a popup? I understand links to external resources won't work, I just really like how the footnotes currently work.

Yes, it preserves footnotes.
Mark this video is very, very helpful. I (and many others) truly appreciate you taking the time to make it.
Thank you.

You're right — this does seem unreliable, and creating a Word TOC seems to be the answer.
I've found that it doesn't need to be at the end of the document. You can replace the TOC at the beginning of your document instead. I'll see if I can edit that into the video!
Mark thank you so much! I just sent many many books to kindle and then realized Amazon disabled the ability to download from the Amazon Cloud to your computer, so you can't convert anything to epub. This is the format I need for the Marvin app, so this video is a life saver!

I can still download those files from Amazon without a problem. Not from the first page you see, but if you click on "All Files" and then My Send-to-Kindle docs. Does that not work for you?
Absolutely brilliant Mark. Many thanks, I've always wanted to know how to quickly reformat TOCs in Word like that

Mark will the hyperlinks to preferred Bible translations in the Bible references still show up as footnotes as they did with the send to kindle feature when using this method?

No, unfortunately.
Ok bummer! Thank you!

Im also on a Mac. Im having issues with this as well. I don't think the printer size feature has ever worked for me, and is something that Logos has yet to implement for the Mac version. It has always had no options. The page count works sometimes, but for very large resources it lags painfully slow. I waited forever for Matthew Henry's commentary this morning and ended up just giving up on it.

Mark, in Logos I was able to get the basic sizes to show up by installing "send to kindle" and setting it up. As for the Mac settings menu, mine is a bit different than the one linked here, and I have many options in it to choose from. My problem is that even when I select them from settings, none of the larger than average options show in Logos for some reason.
Is there a way to filter the library to only show resources that have not been sent to kindle? Or can we automatically create a collection of not sent-to-kindle resources?
