Asking original language questions in All (smart) search: intriguing finds

Time zone for reading plan
I live overseas, and my reading plan shows "tomorrow" instead of "today" in my morning, when I usually read.

It clearly is not using my computer…

Library of Early Christology (Baylor University Press)
This seems like a series Logos should carry. Several of the authors are familiar to me, and Logos carries others of their works, and many other books published by Baylor. I found that one had already been requested by someone else years ago, but I've added requests for the rest of the series and list them all here for your…

RETHINK the 100 book download limit!!!
My iPad Pro has my entire library (5000) downloaded and the app runs just fine.

Is there a way to hide the masoretic niqqudim and cantillation marks when reading
I would like to be able to occasionally read the Hebrew Bible (BHS, Lexham Hebrew Bible, etc.) without the cantillation marks. I would also like to sometimes read the Hebrew without the masoretic niqqudim. Can this be done in Logos? OR is there a Hebrew Bible available in Logos without one or both?

Academic research paper
Is there a way I can use Logos to format an academic research paper to a particular style and then use Logos to write the paper?

Logos sermon slide issues
I am not sure if this is a Proclaim thing or a Logos thing. Every week I mutter to myself how clunky slide creation is in Logos. This happens a lot and it's ridiculous.

Dynamic Pricing on Logos.com is Getting Pretty Far Out of Line

Sermon Builder - removing spaces between verses

Is it possible to add a verse in sermon builder and not get the verse text?
