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!

Hi. I've downloaded the free Perseus Collection. I was looking at the Greek Papyri Collection (6 vols.). Does this contain any material that is not in the Perseus Collection? If so, is there a list somewhere of the differences? Basically, I want as many Greek text resources as possible for looking at how words are used in…
When attempting to add a book request post in the appropriate forum, I am getting a non-descript error message stating, "Error: post could not be created" and "Validation failed". Does anyone know the cause? It would definitely be helpful if the error message explained why the validation failed. ;)
I have been using the read aloud feature, on my laptop, to read through the ESV Bible in one year. This version has the DAVID COCHRAN recorded voice which is much easier for me to listen to, compared to the Windows Computer Voice. Everything has been working flawlessly until we made it to Hebrews on December 18, 2025. This…
Hello everyone, so as I've listened to various podcasts and been reading up on Artificial Intelligence to learn more, one comment that keeps coming up is this concern (and it is coming up from people who have been involved in the development of AI over the last 50 years!): AI may be developing its "intelligence" faster…
