As some of you might know, I have been wrestling lately with the time it takes to open Logos .

I know the books will remain in my account (or not)

How do I delete books I dont read or have little or no interest in?

Thank you!

You can Hide them as per https://community.logos.com/kb/articles/970
They will be removed from your computer after a restart. But beware that they can only be restored one at a time.

Hiding or leaving books in the cloud has little effect on the startup time.

Logos doesn't allow you to delete books and removing them from your local installation simply offloads them to the cloud. The solution? Hide unwanted books. Using Program Settings, you can quickly and easily hide books so they don’t appear in your Library, Search, etc.

Remove books from the Library using any of the following options: Right-click a book and select Remove from device. Open the Library's information pane by clicking the on the upper right and ensure that the Information tab is selected, click the book to select it then click Downloaded > Remove from device. In Tile View, click the more actions icon for any book and select Remove from device.

Passage List not displaying passage from a different book, only a link to the text
I'm trying to create a passage list and interspersing Bible verses with citations from other documents. However, the text is not showing up at all for the other book that I'm citing - just a link to the text itself. Is there a setting that I'm missing to make this non-biblical text appear? Thanks!
