Book Suggestions
I made official book recommendations to Logos for the following two volumes which together form a nice foundation for daily devotionals. Logos tagging of these 2 would greatly increase the use of Logos for Orthodox in both daily prayer life and in seeing how the Orthodox use the OT in light of the NT.
The Lectionary provided with Logos is really incomplete because it includes none of the Vesperal Readings for Feast days etc.
The Lectionary Bible: https://www.ignatius.cc/publications-bible.html would make a great Lectionary addition to fill in that gap.
• The daily readings are given separately in the order they are read, so the user knows exactly what to read and can easily move through the scriptures from day to day.
• Easy to use.
• Focuses particularly on the needs of home worship and personal reading.
• Designed to be a lightweight, functional companion in church worship (though with all the biblical texts in a single volume, it could not properly take the place of a dedicated Gospel, Apostle, Prophetologion, or Psalter in church liturgical settings).
They also publish a dedicated Gospel, Apostle, Prophetologion, and Psalter that are more geared to church liturgical settings but for broad overall appeal and with the ability to customize bibles in Logos anyway, I chose the Lectionary Bible as the best option.
The NT readings are from the EOBNT which is already in Logos and the OT is based on KJV/NKJV.
The Anthologion https://www.ignatius.cc/publications-anthologion.html I view a a companion to the Lectionary Bible for those who like to read the daily readings and pray appropriate hymns for the liturgical day.
• The Book of Hours (Horologion) with Lenten and Paschal variations
• The Book of Eight Tones (Octoechos)
• The common services of Saints (General Menaion)
• Services for all 12 Great Feasts (Festal Menaion)
• Selections from Great Lent and the Paschal season (Triodion and Pentecostarion)
• Traditional morning and evening prayers
• Full Orthodox Psalter divided into the 20 Kathismata for daily reading
• Topical prayers for different occasions
• And much more
Anyway, go and vote for them if you would be interested. https://feedback.logos.com/
I never knew that site existed until today, so the above link will get you to the right spot.

We normally give the links to actual vote rather than sending people to the site to find the requests themselves.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

These two books are under consideration. Logos has contacted them for licensing. Thanks for voting for them. They are great resources.
