Ellen White Reading Plans (Chapter by Chapter)
I am assuming that this will be fixed in the updated Logos version of EGW's writings, but for now, they are not very compatible with the Reading Plans feature. If you try to auto generate a reading plan for a EGW book, it will divide it up by page number instead of by chapter, which is not very helpful. It doesn't make sense to read from the middle of one chapter to the middle of the next chapter for one day's reading, for example.
So in the meantime, I've come up with a workaround. I'm creating Clippings documents and adding each chapter to a clippings document as a separate clipping. This allows me to convert this clippings document into a chapter by chapter reading plan.
As I finish creating the Clippings document for each book, I will post it to the SDA Faithlife Group Documents and the Adult Sabbath School Quarterly Documents pages. I just uploaded the first one now for The Desire of Ages.
In case you're not sure what to do with this, I'll tell you. After grabbing the clippings document that I share from the above links, create a new reading plan in Logos, and select "Custom Reading Plan"
Then, add the clippings document that you grabbed from me, select what day you want to start it, and it will do the rest! I hope this helps!
The end result should look something like this:

Most, not all, reading plans for EGW works come to about 10/12 pages a day - Yes, some times crossing Chapters.

Ok, I just published the Steps to Christ clippings too. I'm starting with the Conflict of the Ages Series. Let me know if there's a request for a certain book. It's pretty easy to do too if anyone else wants to help.

Alright now the Patriarchs and Prophets clipping is available for download too!

It's great you are doing this, Tim. As to your question, pagination should be complete in the updated release of EGW--Elias de Souza of BRI asked me to make sure of it, and I've been assured by Faithlife Content Production.

Are these documents still available somewhere? I can't seem to find them.
