Can someone please help me understand what the difference is between the Logos Reasearch books and others in the digital library?
The definitions below are from Logos.com:
Ebooks on the Logos platform come as is from the publisher and are designed to be read cover to cover. Links to Bible verses and books will appear in searches, but they have minimal tagging to help you stay focused as you need.
Logos Editions are powerful because they connect to the tools in Logos Bible Platform. Our team tags every book with important information, like topics covered, biblical events mentioned, and theological ideas explored. That means all you have to do is search Logos, and it scans your library, instantly connecting you to relevant information from across all your books.
Two Types of Logos Editions
Logos Research Editions come with our most detailed interlinking. We catalog topics discussed, Scripture references, theological concepts, bibliographic info, citations, and so much more. Then we connect them to Logos tools so you can access essential info in seconds flat.
Logos Reader Editions are designed to be read cover to cover. We tag Scripture references and some other basics, but forgo the robust treatment given to reference works. This drastically speeds up production, which often enables us to release them the same day as print.

Some context to your struggle to understand the distinction between Logos edition types would help me provide you with a more satisfying answer.
Simply stated the Logos Edition type Research Edition is that resource that receives the full benefit of Logos tagging and linking a process that AFAIK has not been thoroughly described, random e.g.
https://www.logos.com/product/7371/conflict-and-community-in-corinth-a-socio-rhetorical-commentary-on-1-and-2-corinthians?queryId=46a41e15b8da5d2307e328de2359b9be
Click on "Learn More" and read the explanation provided for the Logos Editions. The final type is an Ebook it gets little to no extra processing. It is meant purely for reading, but some of these receive processing as Logos Editions after they have been added to the Logos catalog.
I mix up ebooks and reader editions (both cover to cover).

You're a step away from being an MVP; you're not allowed to be confused by Logos descriptions.
Well, it's because, as an example, research editions, you're not required to read cover-to-cover. All these rules!

Anyone know the source of transliteration for nouns in the translation ring of the context menu (and in EG), whether accessed from an English (ESV) or Hebrew Bible (LHB)? 2. Also, is it possible that the Logos version of some resources add this translation ring transliteration (that is, the hard copies do not contain it)?…
Is there any way to constrain a Web App bible search to specific books of the bible, as in the desktop? I see no obvious way to do it. I find it hard to believe this is as impossible as it seems as this is pretty basic functionality. Want me going to biblegateway.com? 🤣 I wanted to search only the book of Acts for…
I'm potentially quite interested in the newly listed (and not yet published) Greek New Testament Study Bible, https://www.logos.com/product/444348/the-greek-new-testament-study-bible But for $60, I want to see some sample pages of what the notes will be like; it's not published yet, so I can't find any samples anywhere.…
How can I set up the Bible Recap Reading plan to go by the days laid out in the resource, so I am current with the podcast meaning Logos feeds me day by day according the the appropriate day of the year the current reading? When I set the plan up myself, it goes by page numbers in the book and not by the book's already…
I have Logos on desktop, my iPad, and my Android phone. I do a lot of my reading on the iPad, including my daily Bible-reading plan. The desktop and the iPad are in sync with each other on the reading plan, but the Android app is not updating. I have tried clearing the cache in the app, but that did not make a difference.…
