What's the difference between these two?

The first entry in this picture was released 2020, the other one in 2010. The newer version is missing one of the authors. Doug, the text writer, but still has Sergio, the illustrator, and the same publisher.

I have the hard copy older version (2010).

The Logos shop preview won't show me anything because each page is basically all pictures. So what is the difference between these two versions? Are they the same? Does the newer one have better pictures or something?

Someone noted in the reviews that there isn't any Logos integration; it's basically just a facsimile.
So because it's a comic book style, is this treated as a media format or how does this work? Are the pictures displayed in the regular reading version?

    A quick Google search of "second edition Action Bible changes" took me to this page from the publisher: https://timberdoodle.com/products/the-action-bible-expanded-edition?variant=31950877491258

    I have no idea how it works in Logos. If it is interesting to you, you can always buy it and return it within 30 days if you don't like it.

    Oh ya. Guess I could have Googled it.
    I just checked the pages and the old version hard cover has 752 pages, this new one says 800 pages.
    How do they sell it for $33? You would think it costs at least that much to print it. ¯\(°_o)/¯

    Since Logos loads an entire book into one scrollbar I wonder if it would try to load up thousands of pictures at the same time. I wonder how the colours would look too.

    I just crunched the numbers. The aspect ratio on the hardcover is about 670x1000. Almost as wide as it is tall.
    So when it's open, looking at both pages, would double the width to 1,340. That's somewhat close to a 16:9, full screen 1920x1080. I wonder if Logos has a full screen mode showing both sides of an open book. For this particular book it would almost be necessary. The pages kind of blend together. A social media type of single window downwards scroll system would kind of ruin it. Guess I would have to try it out to see.

    I also wonder what the law is with verbally reading books for a YouTube channel. I've had plans to maybe read this one using a top down camera, for a kids channel. I just realized I don't know if that's legal.

    Thanks for the info.
