"Currently Reading" list

Jacob Hantla

I would love it, if Logos was able to identify books that I am currently reading (not those that i jumped to like a commentary or as part of a search). Or perhaps have a checkbox that delineates "currently reading". And then across all devices, on Logos 5 on computer and on mobile devices, I can view those books I am currently working through.

This would give at-a-glance access to the books I am most likely to want to read when I get a few minutes to sit down at my computer or on my iPad/iPhone

I tag resources to achieve this effect, works well for me.  On mobile device i filer by this tag and use download all.

I prefer the check box which it clearer than Logos "figuring it out" and makes it easier to implement.

I use the tag READING for these, but yes it would be nice if Logos could detect that automatically. It would have to be an intelligent heuristic. If I'm just scrolling quickly through an entire book to look at what its contents are so I can tag it appropriately (which I do with nearly all new books I acquire), I'm not "reading" it per se, just skimming. How slow do I need to be scrolling for Logos to interpret that I'm actually reading it? What if I'm a speed reader? Should Logos have a "learn mode" where it guesses we're reading the book and asks us to confirm that, and if we say "yes" it begins to figure out how fast our reading pace is and gets smarter and smarter about guessing? All of this could get quite complicated, and I can already hear Logos whining "No, that would be too cumbersome, take too long, isn't a high enough priority, etc." But it's still worth getting it out there as a suggestion.
