General observations and questions on books that do not report page numbers.
I have been using Logos since 2014 now, and have never been too bothered by the resources that are missing page numbers. However, I do find it an issue with a required text in a course I am currently taking.
Bird, Michael F. Jesus Is the Christ: The Messianic Testimony of the Gospels. Crownhill, Milton Keynes: Authentic Media, 2012. Print.
I see that in the Logos Wiki you can add books to a list but it seems to be outdated, specific to Logos 4.
https://wiki.logos.com/Books_Missing_Pagination_and_Other_Indexes
I see evidence in some posts that "pagination milestones" have been overlooked or missed in some texts and that Logos will work to include the page numbers in a resource. It would be nice to have a clear definitive statement from Logos regarding their commitment to remediate, or any limitations they may have on this issue.
While we can report typo's with a text, it would be nice to easily report this issue and have a definitive list that shows what books/resources have issues pending resolution, and books/resources with identified issues but no planned resolution for whatever reason.

I can't help you with the issue of "reporting," but I can give you an answer about this specific resource: It is NOT a "Logos Edition." It is a FLEB/Vyrso "eBook" title. These are "bare bones" resources without the "value added" features (including page numbers) of a Logos edition resource. For that reason, there is nothing to report in this case.

this is "easy":

is an edition:eBook resource from the Faithlife eBook store (formerly known as Vyrso). Those typically come as type:monograph with no indexes at all, basically auto-converted from an electronic feed of publishers' resources in ePub format. They will also lack links to referenced works, even if those are in your Logos library.
Have joy in the Lord!

I know this isn't a great option, but from time to time when I run across the need for a page number, I will copy a quote from the resource in Logos and use google books to supply the page number for me.

Thank you for the pointer JT, I was unaware of that ability in Google Books. I will have to play around with that idea in the event that I am told to read pages x through y and they are only a portion inside a chapter.

Thanks to you and JT, I have learned something new. I guess that is how I was able to save $10 over the print edition. I will need to be more careful when buying my text books through Logos.
