okay the text doesn't mark verses but this is ______________________
It is unlikely to be type:bible without verses, so I'd say type:monograph was fitting! Why are you expecting anything different?
At a minimum I expect a search for a Bible chapter or book to bring up the resource. I expect behavior similar to other paraphrases.
Would be nice, but other paraphrases that are of type "Bible" are at least approximately versified.
For example, this is from The Message:
Without the editor/publisher of the Modern Reader's Bible having provided approximate verse divisions, Logos can't make it type Bible, because the definition of that type is that it's indexed by verse.
By the way, where did you get the Modern Reader's Bible? I can't find it on either the Logos website or Vyrso.
EDIT: A Google search on site:logos.com found the See Inside feature for it (https://www.logos.com/products/41150/seeinside?iframe=True&height=600&width=600) but when I edited the URL to try to go to just that product page it wasn't found. Weird.
EDIT2: Never mind. I see now they came as separate volumes as part of the Classic Commentaries sets. And I have the Ecclesiasticus volume. So all the less likely that it will ever be converted to a type "bible".

But IIRC several of the Classic Commentaries works were shipped as type:bible (since I don't trust my brain, I looked it up: 40 of them in my library alone, including several with the text of Ecclesiasticus).
Looking into all three of Moulton's Modern Reader's Bible series works in my library (Isaiah, Ezekiel and Ecclesiasticus), it seems MJ is right and Logos did a rather poor job on them.
Moulton (after a introduction) gives a new translation, then notes. In the case of Isaiah even the resource info claims it to be a verse by verse commentary! Actually it's a bit less than that.
Thus, they should be built like a study bible: one resource with the bible text, one with the introduction and the notes, both bible-indexed (I come to hate "page"!) so we can read text and notes (and a second translation/commentary) along. After all, that's the point in having this in Logos and that's what we pay for even for PD works.
Yup, you've made a good case for this.
Who'da thunk telling Logos a product failed to meet my expectations would turn into a real thread.
Sometimes your expectations are worthy of...um...discussion. [;)]
