Latest update and E-Ink E-Readers

Well - this is the tool they've given us to voice our opinion. I just created a suggestion

Frank H:

I'm disappointed with the quality of the device.  I guess that's the price of being an early adopter. 

I think I'd be happier if they had a more accurate touch screen and more application space. Overall I'm happy it serves the purpose. What would you like to see improved?

Frank H:

but I like having the ability to highlight and put notes in Logos from the ereader.

Me too. I can't be bothered with the inefficiency of having my highlights in another place where they are less useful!

Kevin,

Are you aware of any solution for those of us that need to roll back to the previous version in order to have functional e-readers again?

Thanks!

For those who may be thinking of buying an e-ink device to use with Faithlife apps, let me point out that the Boyue T62 works just fine with 4.4.6 and gives a better overall user experience than the Onyx T68. The Boyue is smaller (6 in. display) but it has more room for apps and data and, with a little tweaking, very good battery life.  It also costs less than the T68.  Onyx now offers the AfterGlow 2, which has similar specs to the T62. 

I wonder if there is any way to know what percentage of Faithlife customers use e-ink devices. Whatever the percentage may be, I hope that Faithlife can keep us in mind. Yes, the send to Kindle feature is great for reading Faithlife resources on a Kindle device. But that's not as satisfying as being able to work with resources from within a Faithlife app!

I have uploaded my Verbum 4.3.9 apk to my Dropbox site. I don't know if it's legit to paste a link here. If it is, I'll do so.  

Anyone know if the newer Onyx BOOX Afterglow 2 can handle the newer Logos Android release without showing a black screen?  Thanks!

No black screen issues and I believe it is now available on Amazon. Check out my review here https://community.logos.com/forums/p/97340/671222.aspx#671222

Since the Faithlife 4.4.x Android apps require Android 4.0 *and* hardware accelerated graphics (which E-Ink devices might not have), we're looking into creating a download site for version 4.3.9 of the apps.  

Note that newer features implemented in future versions of Logos Desktop and/or the mobile apps will *not* be implemented in 4.3.9.

Shall I wait for this download site?   I've got my eink reader mainly for the Bible softwares, though OliveTree & CBD reader still can be used in my eink device, portion of my books(around 3800) are in Logos, do hope that Logos can be use on it.

Blessings,

Many Thanks Dave.  Glad to get back my Logos on the e ink device.

No, this is an Android app that runs on the Android operating system.  The Kindle PW uses a different operating system. The closest you can come, if you have Logos 6 on your desktop or laptop, is that you can send individual resources to your Kindle to read them there.
