Yes, I pray this function be considered! Then I could use my own "PB commentary"…. Oh yeah!! Please!
xn = Christan man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".

Not really. Unless you open info panel, copy PB file name, close logos, delete the file name and rebuild personal book index. If you uploaded it onto Logos servers, then no. All you can do is hide the book.
Or, rebuild again with a properly formated file.

I would like to do the same. This is the ideal use cae for personal books. I realize that permitting syncing of personal books creates a whole host of issues, but there has to be some way to solve these problems. I'd like to have content that I create be accessible as personal books. This is a worthwhile feature to add.

I would hope that any file we create in Logos would be available on Mobile, including "Workflow files"!

I actually thought that it is a standard function and was really surprised not to find it! And then even more surprised when found out how long Logos users have been begging the company to allow that to use them! Wow!

I would like to import my own books purchased elsewhere from other providers.

Yes, currently this is a turmoil for self converting the books. I wish they would make a Personal book converter! At least for PDF files!

MSWord automatically converts PDF files to .docx files. As is common, I am unimpressed with PDF conversions attempt to preserve format.
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."

The problem is not just in making PDF a DOCX file, but specific formatting requirements of Logos to make the docx file to be a correctly formatted Personal book. In addition tools for identifying Bible references would be super helpful as well, especially in this age of AI…

I did a short look, but didn't find it, but there have been some Logosians that have written some macros for MS Word VBA to write out a "Logos compatible formatted" docx file that could be compiled into Logos. Maybe someone knows where the link is to these files????

It is ridiculous that we are not able to do this. It's bad enough that we are limited to 100 book download at a time. What is the point of adding a personal, searchable book if we can use it on mobile?

I found this for VBA Macros, thank you for the hint.

Yes, it is. Well, you can pray for the developers :)

How about tackling this request in steps? For me personally it would be real helpful to use the customary lectionary in my denomination on mobile devices (that I’ve made using a personal book). I don’t need search or whatever for that, just read the format from the book, just like you do with lectionaries from the store.
These lectionaries are vital to my scripture-readings. Daily I open my app to study the given passages. Very annoying that I can’t go to the planned passages in one go, on mobile. It’s the perfect device for said scenario.

The personal book app is a great feature with a lot of potential, but it's limited to just the desktop. I recently created a personal book to memorize scripture. It takes a passage and uses just the first letter from each word. It preserves capitalization and punctuation. I created a personal book planning to use this on my phone and ipad. To my dismay, the mobile app doesn't support this feature. So much for my plan. I will just have to use paper. It would be great to open a personal book from the Tabs icon.
