Daily Strength for every man

Bolinger, C., & Murrow, D. (2018). Daily Strength for Men: A 365-Day Devotional. Broadstreet Publishing Group, LLC.

I have the book but when I click add daily devotional it is not listed as one I can add to my home page when I open the Logos app on my PC. Can someone check this and fix it if possible?

    I'm afaid this is in ebook format and hasn't had the tagging required to function as a full devotional in Logos.

    who ever tags books needs to look at it.

    eBooks in Logos by definition are not tagged beyond basic Bible links. To get it tagged, you must ask that it be made into either a Logos reader's edition or a Logos research edition - either of which generally has a higher price for those not grandfathered in by owning the eBook.

    No. They are 

    edition:eBook

    edition:Logos-Research

    edition:Logos-Reader

    The product page will inform about the respective edition. The eBooks are electronic text like Kindle or such, whereas the Logos Research edition books have datatypes, tagging, indexes etc.

    So why can't they fix a tag? How much $$ does it cost?

    They might not even have a contract in place that allows them to do it, the contracts for eBooks as opposed to Logos editions are seemingly very different (some publishers only want one or the other, others play in both shops). Faithlife usually divides books up into which edition they will be - only rarely they upgrade eBooks to Logos editions. They couldn't do the full production process for all eBooks.  

    Some years back, as a proof of concept, I took one of the many edition:eBook-Devotionals, made a Personal Book out of it and added the needed tags - it works perfectly on the desktop, but Personal Books are not on the mobile or web apps. If one knows how to build Personal Books, it's quite manageable, takes a bit of work in Word (and the assumption that I can do a format conversion to a book I bought, e.g. under fair use, which may or may not be correct, depending on the jurisdiction you're in).

    There is no tag to fix. You are asking that the book be moved from an eBook edition which is an automated process with little to no human interaction to a reader's edition which is a full-blown production chain and maintenace process. So yes, there are many $$ involved although my only clue to the actual amount comes from community pricing.
