parallel view of bibles

In Logos 4 for Mac how many bibles can you view in parallel at the same time? Do you have to use Text Compare as the only way or can you have multiple bibles open framed on your desktop?

I am considering purchasing Logos 4 because it would put all the bibles my wife wants in her bible study in one easy to carry place but I need the software to be as easy to view multiple bibles as a traditional printed parallel bible.

in Logos4 you can open as many Bibles as you like - both multiple copies of the same version, and/or multiple versions.

Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :)

Wiki http://wiki.logos.com/Logos_4_Mac has a screen shot that includes Text Compare and couple Bibles linked (look for A on cover icon).

Practically, more resources can be linked for verse scrolling than can visually be seen at one time. Logos has Mac videos => http://www.logos.com/videos/mac - Bibles and Commentaries show linked resources in action: also shows typing a passage on Home Page - click GO - opens couple guides, 5 top bibles (tabbed in one panel), a commentary, information, and text comparison. Forum http://community.logos.com/forums/p/30415/225343.aspx#225343 has a Home Page GO example with a tweak for faster scrolling. Optionally, could drag and arrange tabs from Top Bible panel so all Bibles display side by side.

Thankful my Logos 4 Library can be used on Mac, PC, and iOS devices. Android application is being developed. Biblia.com available for web browser access to library.

If my wife and I would not often use Logos at same time, Thankful for option to share a personal library. Bob Pritchett offers Logos license insights => http://community.logos.com/forums/p/341/3265.aspx#3265 Practical observation: having one Logos library in use at same time on 2 or more devices has potential for sync issues (better to use 1 device at a time).

Likewise Thankful can use Logos offline on an iPad during church services - much easier to handle than a laptop or PC tablet - quick to display Bible verse - like being able to compare 2 Bible versions or have Bible and Commentary side-by-side (easy to change commentary or Bible version), including option to link side-by-side for scrolling. Also finding NET Bible footnotes quite useful to augment sermon. Hoping for Logos application improvement to include visual filter highlighting and notes.

Keep Smiling [:)]
