2013 was the last Watchtower Library to be converted to Isilo


Recommended Posts

Just received this:

 

Dear Brothers,

 

Thank you for your support over the years for the WTPub iSilo files. Now that the multiplatform JW Library is available, we wish to direct attention to it and not compete with what the organization has provided. Therefore, the WTPub 2013 is the last English iSilo file set that will be made available. As other languages receive JW Library, the iSilo production will be discontinued. So the other languages will still be created for now.

Please, I want to know what the WT Library iSilo means. I may have it but seems have confused with the name iSilo

 

Isilo "pdb" files are formatted for mobile devices and the "Isilo reader app" is the app you need to access these files. For several years the Watchtower Library CD ROM has been converted to isilo pdb format each year. This will no longer be done.

Thanks for the great job.

Its imporntant to say that for other languages like portuguese, we still use the isilo version, because jw library app is not yet available in our language.

And in the app I think we can not have acess to magazines from years before 2000.

So isilo is still important.

Ah, makes me sad.  I appreciated having the entire CD on my tablet.

 

Oh well, I still have the 2013.  It just won't be updated with current years.

We really don't need that to be updated anymore (unless it was with additional options or ported to other format, with better search functionality)

You can use any already available wtlib pdb file in conjunction with wol. In case you want wol offline in any language, just use the app below (android only)

The way I use isilo is just to read a pub, that I already know of by searching the on wol

(pubs prior to 2000 are not available there but you can access the reference)

No, it is not affiliated with the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society in any way.

It is just some brothers and sisters who helped others get the FULL Watchtower Library on mobile devices. It started back in the Palm Pilot days.

I don't always have Wi-Fi aches and my tablet does not have data package. Having the cd for off line research was great.

Dear British Chuck, I also really appreciated isilo pdb files. I missed the updates along the way. How can I get the 2013 isilo files including the revises NWT Bible? Thanks.
