Sugg: Program user content to be used as other resources in PG

Introducing "My Content" section was a nice gesture, but is pretty useless. Yes, it displays the name of the files that have something pertaining to the scripture being studied somewhere, but it is not accessible. Let me illustrate:

clicking on either of the files opens them up to the BEGINNING, not to the verses in question

All other resources outside of "My Content" section are useful and work as "digital library" should - eliminate the waste of time for manual searching and displaying needed content. But not "My Content." I wonder, is that a bad design or intentional?

IF Logos views user content as unimportant, than let's stop pretending and drop the whole thing (note syncing, using it on iPhones, Androids, etc and go to third-party providers, they do it better anyway), and IF Logos really thinks that user content is valuable, than how come it is so DIFFICULT TO USE?

• it is difficult to create (very useful elements are unsupported: tables, images, tags, etc. Clippings cannot be created for outside resources, such as web, print articles. )
• it is difficult to search (it is a totally different "search" within user content and commercial content via "Ctrl-F." Why does it have to be like this?)
• it is difficult to organize (possibility of hundreds or more files cluttering in tiny FILE menu. Let's add them to the Library menu where they belong!)
• it is difficult to utilize in Passage Guide. Could not notes' scripture markers and location markers be programmed as milestones, so when a user clicks on a link in "My Content" section - program takes him to the exact note for the passage being studied?

I want to respectfully disagree with Mr. Pritchett. LOGOS' biggest problem is NOT ability to innovate, but to design and execute.
