Reading in Windows 10 Questions

I have Windows 10 and Logos 6. I understand that I can utilize the "reading view" to read. But I want to go into tablet mode on windows 10 and read and highlight. I understand you can set highlighting on keys, but I am not using keys or a mouse. Is there a way to simplify highlighting so I can just scroll text with my finger and it automatically highlights, like on a Kindle? In other words, I want to read in Logos like I read on my kindle app.

I am not a Windows user, but the desktop app has not been designed or optimized for touch screens. I <think> the answer is "no," but if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will clarify. Personally, I prefer to use the mobile app on a light weight tablet to read/highlight and use the desktop app for "research."

Have a look in the Windows app store. There's a reading app for Logos resources there, called "Logos Bible". I think it might be better suited for what you want to accomplish (just for reading - all other functionality is very poor compared with Logos 6).

Does it allow for highlighting? It was my understanding that it didn't.

I've just tried, and could not get the app to highlight anything...

(The reading view is still nicer than in L6

I don't believe the app is in the Windows Store any longer. At least it was not in the WIndows 10 store when I tried searching for it. I only recently moved from Win 7 to Win 10 and so have never downloaded the app and it was not in the store when I searched for it. The only FL product coming up in the Windows 10 store is BibleScreen.

The app was removed from the store: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/99859.aspx

This is not currently possible on a Windows device running the full desktop application, but we know that it's a common feature request for touchscreen users.

We'll update this suggestion when there is news to share about more touch features: https://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-5/suggestions/619605-focus-on-tablet-and-touchscreen-features
