    Looks good. I have had 0.9.4, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, and now 1.0.3, but with all of them I have had to reinstall all of my books again for offline reading. There must be an easier way. Has anyone else has to work with this issue, if yes is there an easier work around than removing my downloaded bokks and then reinstalling them?

    Than you.

    Mark:

    You might be more successful getting a solution if you provide your phone or tablet model and maybe the Android OS version. There are likely other users with equipment like yours that have had the problem. There was one widespread issue a few months ago with updates eating previous downloads, but that was related to login authentication issues.

    Sorry I did not include the info, but I was using my tablet to send that post. The tablet that I am having problems with is an off brand - Le Pan (TC970)/ Android version 2.2. I just use it to read my books so I do not have wifi or a network attached to it, so I download the books I like to read. Every upgrade though has made those books unavailable for offline use. The message is "Could not open offline resource." If I remove them and then reinstall they work fine.

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for reporting this issue.  I'll write up a case and send it to our Development department.

    That was build 39, now with build 40 I am not able to open any resource. When I select a book the screen goes blank then it takes me back to the library. Never opening a book

    Maybe I've jumped the gun, but I just reinstalled Logos4Android from GooglePlay, and I don't seem to have the Reading Plan functionality...at least I've not figured out how to find it.

    Sad

    Nevermind...it just took hours to sync up the library--after that finished, my reading plans appeared.

    With the upgrade to ICS, Hebrew display for other apps have dramatically improved. However, in the Logos app, the BHS pointings shifted too far to the left and became misaligned on the other side. Since the problem of misalignment is solved in the other apps (e.g. CadreBible), it is no longer a problem with the OS.

    Is there any update on notes being included in the app?  I am longing for this to be done.

    Hi Everett,

    The notes/highlighting feature is probably a few months out.  For those that don't know, the iOS app had a big head start vs. the Android app which is why the iOS side has more features.  However, Logos on Android has more features at it's current 1.0.x version than the iOS app did when it was at 1.0.x.  We're trying to catch up.  Thanks!

    Kevin, Thank you for the update--nice to be able to calibrate expectations.
