More Reading Plans?

I just purchased the Leaders edition of Logos with the hopes of many things, including streamlining my software and iPod touch app usage.  I have to admit that I am pretty disappointed with the number of included reading plans.

I appreciate the powerful nature of Logos for creating my own plans, but considering that Lifechurch.tv's free app (simply called Bible)  comes with over a dozen reading plans in the app and many more available with some navigation, after spending hundreds of dollars I have to admit I was surprised to see the 1 basic reading plan installed in Logos.  Not even something as standard as Our Daily Bread?

Aware that the Common Book of Prayer is included in the bundle, why not have that as a plan?  I could go on but I feel I've made my point.

Let me know if I'm missing something obvious, I confess to being a Logos noob and if I'm mistaken about this void, please explain how to retrieve more plans.

In Christ,

Brian

    There is a void but please see this.

    Thank you for your quick response.  I did read this wiki page and agree that creating one's own plan is a powerful feature. (I have already loaded one of the chronological readings.) I am grateful for the power to build our own reading plans, and the crowd-sourcing community that is working on that wiki page.

    What I am speaking of are some published or commonly used reading plans such as the Life Journal, Book of Common Prayer, 30 day, 90 day, six month plans, etc...  I realize I could spend some time and plug these plans in manually, and forgive me if I sound lazy, but I am just shocked that there are a few free apps & resources like YouVersion that offer these sort of plans, but a software package as expensive as Logos does not.

    The issue is "commonly used"  as the ones you mention would not apply to every user. Also, Logos has never provided "common" Collections for its libraries. Whilst we've been able to construct and share such in Libronix the best we can do in L4 is share them via the wiki or Forums.
