Fire Bible suggestions for Logos.

I purchased the Fire Bible thinking that it would be a Bible with all the notes and guides incorporated into it, but it's just the study notes. Sort of disappointing considering their own app has the Fire Bible with a bible that uses hyperlinks and hover over popups that show the notes, guides, themes etc., sort of like the print versions available in a few different popular translations.

Logos needs to get it together and have the same thing as the Fire Bible app. I don't like the way it scrolls when I link the Fire Bible with my preferred Bible in Logos, for example if you're studying a certain verse in Logos, you often have to scroll farther down in the Fire Bible in Logos to get to that exact verse you're studying because you're reading an introduction to a certain thing, whereas in the Fire Bible app it shows exactly what and where you're at via either a hyperlink or a hover over popup. For a 3.99 a month app subscription it just flows better than what Logos has to offer for the Fire Bible.

    Greetings!

    Sorry I am not a sales person nor a tech guide, I'm just an A/G pastor who also purchased the Fire Bible and while I was having the same difficulty as you were a thought sprang in my mind and I tried something. I opened the Fire Bible then clicked "Multiple Books Display" button you then have a choice of side to side or top bottom I went for "Top Bottom" I know and realize you were and are hoping for more of a "Parallel" style but perhaps that might just help for sermonizing.

    Yours in Christ

    This is true of all study Bibles in Logos. If you are using links, clicking on the verse number should align the Bibles when one requires scrolling and the other does not. Or use the multi-book view as suggested above. If you have trouble implementing either of these suggestions, come back for further directions.
