Would love to be able to loan books to individuals for them to read. This is possible in Amazon.
BLUF: Allow owning of multiple copies of the same resource; provide the ability to lend/send the resource to another account. Essentially giving the "lent" user a "trial usage" of the resource for a lender predefined amount of time.
Goal: Enhance Small/Large Group Studies.
Requirements: Allow account to own multiple copies of the same resource and the ability for the "owner" of the resource to lend the resource to another account once, for a specified amount of time like 14 days (preferably also the ability to transfer the ownership to the other account for say gifting to a user), The ability for the lent user to "accept" the resource. Some form of accounting system to prevent abuse, and "indefinite" lending.
During usage of a lent resource logos could alert the user of the temporary resource and time left, with the ability to buy it for themselves(which should return the lent copy back to the owner) To prevent abuse, accounts could be limited to how many active items are being lent to them. As well as how many times a specific resource is allowed to be lent to a particular account..
Example: User 3 lends Resource A to User 4, User 4 accepts lent resource, after Resource A is returned to owner (by User 4 choice or by time elapsed) User 4 can no longer be lent Resource A by any user. But User 3 can still lend User 4 a different Resource( say Resource B)
I know there's probably copyright issues with this, but something I've ran into many times after amassing a good number of books in my library is my desire to share them with others that I'm teaching – in the same way I can loan a print book to a friend to read for a bit before getting it back to then loan to another or read it again myself. I just wish I could bless my friends easier instead of saying "oh yeah I read this really great work on that, you can borrow my computer for a bit to read some of it"
The Dynamic Toolbar has a "Hide Secondary Toolbar" feature, but when enabled it is not remembered in saved layouts or resources. As a result, users have to continually select "Hide the Secondary Toolbar" over and over.
Patristics i.e. historical Bible commentaries, hagiographies, theology seems to have reached a plateau which does not include original language manuscripts or standard reference indexing. Just as was done for Bible manuscripts, I suggest that integrating external sites into Logos is the obvious path forward. Therefore,…
I buy lots of books. Some are intended as background, to feed the search engine, or as standard resources to check. Others, however, especially monographs, I tend to purchase, be excited about… and then forget entirely that they exist, I own them, and want to read. I would like an easy way to put a book into a list of…
The way that original languages are set up currently is if one wants to see the meaning of the word, you have to press and hold to reveal the gloss. To highlight or select a word, the same action of pressing and holding is applicable. This is very disturbing (and tends to be very buggy after a while) when reading extensive…
The zoom level I use for my monitor and the one I use for printing should be independant. With larger monitors, zooming to 140% or higher is becoming normal. But when printing we normally just want to have the 100% size, or maybe even smaller.
