Due to a combination of technical, legal, and permission issues outside our control, we're going to retire the send-to-Kindle feature on 3/31. You'll be able to use the service through the end of the month. After that point, it will no longer work. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you.
Update: Books already sent to Kindle will not be affected by this change. You will be able to continue to enjoy them on your Kindle after 3/31.

I'm glad that I haven't bought a Kindle. I feel sorry for you for all of the flak that you will probably receive from upset users.

I imagine that you are about to update the page that you just linked to with a note that Send to Kindle is being retired.

Yes. We'll be updating all of our marketing communication shortly.

I think it would be sad if that happens. It sounds like there is no other option for Logos, that their hands are tied. We' just need to be glad we have had it for this amount of time.
Is it possible to change to 100 page restriction on the export to word feature to make it easier for people to use Amazon's own "send to kindle" feature as a replacement?
There will be obvious blow back in that several people claimed to have upgraded to 6 for only this reason. It is not something I ever used and am perfectly happy reading my FL products on my iPad.

This is terrible news. I rely on that feature, and it keeps my buying Logos books instead of Kindle books.
This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!

Noooooo!!!!!
My only consolation is that it wasn't enabled on most of the books I wanted to transfer.
Will this only limit the sending of additional resources? Will resources already sent to kindle continue to work?
Bradley Ermeling:Will this only limit the sending of additional resources? Will resources already sent to kindle continue to work?
Great question, which I probably should have addressed in the original post. Once a resource is sent to Kindle, it will continue to work even after we retire the feature.

I, myself, doubt if the upload personal books feature will go away. I could be wrong, but it appears that the discrepancy between Faithlife and Amazon would be more legal than anything else. The personal book (PB) feature is exclusively Faithlife/Logos.

Mark (or anyone else) -- If you have a moment, can you elaborate, please? I'm interested because I used the feature at first, but eventually found it redundant since I could access my FL resources in a FL mobile app.
This question arises from more than mere curiosity. If there's a compelling reason to use the kindle in this way, I might spend a bit of time over the next 24 days or so taking advantage of the feature before it goes away.

Personally, I prefer to read on a Kindle Paperwhite over a computer/phone/tablet. Nothing beats the Logos universe for research: notes, cross-references and everything else that falls under the umbrella of research. But when I need to simply read a block of text efficiently, the paperwhite experience is second to none.
I did not find an efficient way to transfer highlights and notes back to Logos, but going through that process manually provides some good review.

Precisely.
If I want to read my Logos books on an eInk display, I'm now going to be forced to buy e-Ink Android devices and use the Logos app on there. That's going to cost me the best part of $200 .

If you find a good one, let us know about it.
Sad as Kindle is my device of choice for many purposes. I suppose I should spend the rest of the month sending resources over.
