How soon will this be available for the general public?!?!?
I would assume not long. It needs a good testing, that's what this beta period is for. Once it is confirmed that the feature isn't broken or breaking something else it will be released in the next "gold" release.
Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.
Jonathan Sine: David Salazar: Yes, Scripture hyperlinks are there. when you click on the scripture, it will take you to the scripture. Same thing with footnotes. Strange thing is that the table of contents is not hyper-linked, but if you go to the very beginning of the book, after the book cover you'll see another table of contents which is hyper-linked. Great! Thanks David. I'm hopeful they will straighten out the rest of the hyperlinking.

This probably has to do with the way Amazon accepts the files. I know with a lot of personal documents for Kindle, even ones I create myself, I end up with 2 TOC after the conversion. I don't think that is on the Logos side of things.

You should report this as a bug in the beta forum (if you haven't already). The table of contents in the books I have tested have worked perfectly... as has everything else.
Also, note that the Table of Contents that should be hyperlinked is the one that you go to when you select Go To - Table of Contents. If you manually navigate to other tables of contents in the book, it could be they won't be hyperlinked.

Yes, as I understand it the TOC that is part of the book in Logos is converted to text. But the send to kindle process generates a TOC based upon headings for the book.
This is, I think, built upon the same technology as Amazon's own "Send to Kindle" app.

Yes that is an Amazon function, you are correct.
Is there still a 100 page limit? If so, is there a work around for those really long books?
There's a file size limit (imposed by Amazon), so resources with hundreds of photos are off limits. But I've sent very large books to my Kindle (the whole bible, for example).

I have done that as well with the previous method of exporting to a word document and emailing it to my kindle. With that method I could just do 100 pages at a time and add them to the end of the document. However, with sending directly to the kindle it still seems to limit it to 100 pages and I can't just keep adding. Even setting the paper to A2 I can't get an entire 1200 page book to fit within this limit.

Eric,
You are describing something different.
You are describing using Amazon's "send to kindle" printer driver alongside the print/export function of Logos.
This is completely separate now. And to clarify: it is only in beta at the moment, so this will not work if you are not in beta.
Please revisit the release notes posted at the first post in this thread for using the beta send to kindle feature by way of the Library and the info panel.
There is a 50MB per file upload limit imposed by Amazon.
Question: What about this?
"You may not use the Service to send infringing, unauthorized, or otherwise illegal content."

Would sending an entire book be considered "infringing content" by Amazon?

Not according the contracts which Logos has to work out with the publishers.
TCBlack: Not according the contracts which Logos has to work out with the publishers.
I am looking at it from Amazon's perspective. Does Amazon know about this and approve?
My point is Amazon would have no idea what contracts have been negotiated with Logos. They may see it as a competitor using their servers to store books that weren't bought from Amazon. Or a user storing "infringing works" on their servers. I would not want Amazon to shut down my account because of this.
From their Terms and Conditions:
"We may discontinue the Service or your participation in the Service at any time in our sole discretion. The permission we grant you to use the Service automatically terminates if you do not comply with these Terms."
Thank you TCBlack. I missed that part about looking in the info section of the book.
I absolutely would be thrilled... it would make Logos much more appealing to myself and many others. Syncing annotations would be nice, but even getting logos books downlaoded and readable on kindle would be amazing. Please develop this compatibility!!!
Donovan Neufeldt:Please develop this compatibility!!!
Welcome to the forums Donovan! I have good news for you... this feature is already in the latest beta!

I genuinely am shocked by this information that the "send to Kindle" feature is up and running on the beta version of Logos 5. I'm thrilled as well.
Call me crazy, but how can I tell if I'm running beta or not?
Peace,
DM

If you don't know, you aren't.

If you are asking the question, you are not running beta.
There is a FORUM for beta users. The beta is open to the public... but note: Beta testing isnt for users who want the newest features first. It is for people who want to help out and provide feedback. It means having your computer crash at times. It means having to reinstall at times. You should not beta test on your only installation... especially if you depend upon it for work.
Alabama has spoken the truth in love.
That being said, I have been running 5.3 since Beta 1 with not one crash or problem.
Your mileage my vary, but this has been a very easy Beta.

Thanks guys, I figured that was the case.
No worries. I'll wait. Grateful for the info though and very excited about the feature.
