Apple will require "all publishers of content-based apps" available via
its app store to remove links that offer that content for sale outside
of it, the company has said.Exactly. So long as Logos removes the five links from the home page, it will be fine.

What about this:
"Apple confirmed it would now require publishers to allow in-app
purchases, and that if an offer was made "outside the app" the same--or
better--offer must be made inside the app. Apple will take a cut of 30%
of all in-app purchases, made via its app store, but will still allow
content to be used that has been purchased externally."It sounds to me like they'll have to do more than remove the links.

It says the same thing in this article:
"Apple had previously said the "in-app clause" was already part of the
developer guidelines, but was not enforced, and said that publishers
had to allow in-app purchases along with links to external sources.

Tony, and others:
First let me say that logos is working on improvements for the app, so that means to me that they are not too worried about this issue with Apple for what ever reason, which might include the fact that it is impossible to purchase a book for the Ipad, Iphone, Itouch. you can purchase a book for your computer, and by grace or Logos they will with the help of the logos app allow you to see it on your idevice... but you can not purchase anything directly for the idevice. Now this becomes even more true in that if they did have to put a link in the app to sell a book, since they don't sell ibooks, then 30% of nothing is still nothing. Logos has never sold a single file for the Idevice... only for your computer which the logos app will not run on! some may see this as semantics, but at this point there is nothing that apple can do when the files are not sold.

Thankful for Logos application improvements [8-|] on iOS devices.
... but at this point there is nothing that apple can do when the files are not sold.
Apple's option is removing eBook reader applications from Apple's App Store because in-app purchasing not added to iOS application. However, Apple's in-app purchasing can not handle complete eBook catalogs:
Wonder if Amazon's Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Kobo applications will be available in App Store after June 30 (their book catalogs are immensely too big for in-app purchasing). Looking at Logos web site, found 5,177 products => http://www.logos.com/products/search?sort=pricelo&pageSize=60 (too many for Apple's in-app store). Amazon already working on web based Kindle reader:

Historical observation: in 2009, Logos published per user licensing for resource content => http://blog.logos.com/archives/2009/10/license_and_registration_please.html and http://www.logos.com/ArticleViewer/440
Logos resource content is no longer purchased for your computer. Logos licenses resource content to an individual's library that can be used in any Logos Bible Software application, including desktop computers, mobile devices, and web browser. Some publishers restrict content usage to desktop computers. Logos 4 desktop applications use your Logos library licenses to download content to your computer for your use.
Libronix 3 and Logos 4 Bible Study applications are now free - can use both versions with your Logos library. Logos web order page https://www.logos.com/user/orders has resource download instructions for Libronix 3 and Logos 4 applications on PC and Mac.
As a Logos user, I have the option of not using any Logos desktop application to access content in my Logos library. Currently, desktop Logos applications have more features than mobile applications and web browser.
Keep Smiling [:)]
