Yes, my humor knows no bounds.  

I operate with 4 Logos apps.  Noet is tagged with my Civil War reading and lazy me had let the Wilderness and Spotsylvania conflicts slide right by into May.

My current downloaded book was April, and May was in desperate need.  I turned on the internet, typed in the partial title and zippo.  Oh my.  Re-booted the app; no resource.  

Then I tried Vyrso. Nope. Both same log-in. Both could find my religious library no problem. But no Civil War.

Well, I knew Biblia was the best. And sure enough it dumped a whole selection for me, ready to catch up with the boring action.  Logos Bible also had no problem. 

Finally I did a hard reboot on the iPad and tried all 4 again.  Bible and Biblia won YET AGAIN.

Final decision: using non-Biblical resources Vyrso and Noet didn't make it out of the gate.  I even typed in 'latin' (that should be easy).  Noet zero; Vyso found a couple. (Both were allowed 10 minutes to try to figure it out).  

Logos Bible and Biblia were instant success. Yea!!

And no; I'm not going to re-install.  Instead Vyrso and Noet can now do my religious reading; Bible and Biblia can do my non-religious reading (Perseus).

    Well, being the intrepid type (always going by the principle, the developers can't be that bad), I think I figured it out.

    First, I did delete/re-install the two bad boys (Vyrso/Noet).  But their behavior was unchanged.

    Interestingly they haphazardly knew about Perseus (Vyrso knew Perseus, non-Civil War; Noet never heard of Perseus if not downloaded). Now, both knew of any Perseus IF I had downloaded it.  But if I typed the title in, suddenly they both denied ever hearing of the CW resources. 

    That's when I decided to see if Logos5 would 'ship the resource up'.  I went to Logos5 (where of course everybody's home), and selected a Perseus CW volume to ship to Noet. I also sync'd to make sure Noet would get the message.

    That's when I noticed suddenly Vyrso and Noet learned about 'my library'.  All my books were back safe and sound.

    Obviously Vyrso and Noet are not using the same code as Bible! and Biblia.  And the sync mechanism is screwed up.   Plus on my account I notice you can have duplicate mobiles (not related to this issue).  Plus Logos5 thinks you have apps installed on your mobiles that haven't been there for months.

    Like I said ... the developers can't be that bad.
