My son just got an iPad, and I thought I would get him started with the free Logos app. He registered so as to take advantage of the free books that Logos offers along with the app. After firing up the app, the Library shows all the 60+ resources he now has available. I suggested that he download his favorite Bible (in this case NASB) so he has it available even when he doesn't have WiFi access. However, when he attempted to download it, the download button is greyed out (not green), and a message is displayed saying something about that resource isn't included in his account.----But he DOES have access to the resource when he's connected to WiFi.
We tried a couple other resources. Some can be downloaded; some can't.
Is this the way this free account is supposed to work? If so, I must say that I don't understand why Logos is willing to give online access to this version of the Bible, but not allow offline access. It's not like he can somehow access the data file on the iPad and sell it to someone else. I suppose it's all part of that Incredible marketing machine. Give it to them free--well, almost give it to them--and if they really want it bad enough (i.e., offline access), they'll cough up the $10 (or whatever) to get offline access to that resource.
Or maybe I'm just missing a setting in the app, and he really does have full access to the "free" resources? Anyone know?
