I own resources in English and German e.g. by Irenaeus, but they appear under differnt names. Is it possible to merge these?
You need to explain what you mean by "merge". e.g. you can relate them by putting them in the same Series or by tagging them.

I would like Logos to decide for one version of an author's name, e.g. "Irenaeus Lugdunensis (140-202)", and assign it to each and all works by this author, so that only this one version shows up in my library containing all of the author's works (see green arrow in the screenshot below taken from an university OPAC).
Other versions of the name could be carried in other data fields (see red arrow in the screenshot below).
Citavi, a third party library program, allows the user to merge names by himself:
I would prefer the first solution (done by Logos), but I would be also happy with the second one (done by the user).

I think a better solution was visible in the older Factbook format and in the handling of Bible book names - the recognition of synonyms via a reference table. Using a fixed name doesn't work well across alphabets and writing systems, Think Asian market.
I like MJ's solution better - and actually Logos uses a unique numerical identifier per author (as can be seen from shop searches) and thus would be able to facilitate that easily.

Sorry, I don't understand. What are you pointing out with "that"?
the merging of different author names under one ID. It would be easy if the ID is a (meaningless and already existing) number and all spellings and variants of the name are just attributes of that ID.
The removal of the handout text from the sermon text is supremely unhelpful. When I print off my sermon outline, it must include the lines for the handout.
Hi, I am from India. The price of individual books, bibles & premium subscription is well priced. I do find some of the prices of the some bundles to be high. I think it could be solved by having pricing dependant on Purchasing power parity (PPP) of a country or having a bit more discount. Those bundles are too expensive…
Bulgarian is one of the few languages for which no bible is available to date - keeping Logos from being used there.
Hello, I purchased the Wilmington's Guide to the Bible, 30th Anniversary Edition from the Logos app quite some time ago after verifying that I could search by page number. I actually paid more for this book from Logos because other sites did not have this feature. It has worked for over a year where I could search "Page…
When a Bible window gets narrow, chapter numbers often get cut off. It would be nice if "Chapter 1" became "Ch. 1" or even "1" dynamically as the window size got narrower and narrower.
