Lutheran Study Bible - Concordia Publishing
Happy, happy, happy....
I bought this new digital version from Concordia. They send it on a CD, which I had to install into Libronix 3. Then you run Logos 4, which updates resources. It appeared in my L4.
Now today, it showed up as an iPhone app. So it took a day for it to migrate from L4 to my iPhone.
Pretty slick operation, if you ask me.
I do admit to being puzzled, why I could not just get a download from Logos for this, and have it all done lickety-split.
But as it was, not too bad a process. Their instructions were clear. I still hate having to enter a unlock serial number, though.
It's so.....L3.

Dan,
That's more because of how CPH released it. I also ordered it and since I don't have L3 installed on my two computers, I just called customer service, read them the serial number over the phone and they unlocked it on their end, I then typed scan d:\ (or whatever your cd/dvd drive is) and it loaded fine. In this case it's because CPH released it in the old Libronix format, that it has the serial number. You'll note that you can't purchase it through Logos at this point in time anyway. I'm hoping over time as CPH continues to produce more resources, that they'll more easily be loaded into L4

This is good news. I am interested as to how it displays in Logos 4 and on the iPad/iPhone app. ie. Is it a split page arrangement like my paper copy of the book, with Scripture at the top, study notes at the bottom?

The notes and all of the introductory material, wood engravings, maps etc. are in the Lutheran Study Bible as a book. The ESV is a separate book. You can link the two resources together so that the notes will scroll along with the text as you read it. Depending on where you load the window, you could have it below, beside or even in a floating window that would be linked to the ESV, or any Bible for that matter so long as the linked resource is the same... ie., set A

As will be readily evident, I am BRAND new to LOGOS so apologies beforehand. Would you be so kind as to briefly describe how I can set up TLSB and ESV on iPad so as to most closely approximate the actual Book layout? If this is too onerous, perhaps a point in the right/best direction?
Thank you so much.

from what I see on my iPad, you can only open one book at a time, so you cannot have the LSB and ESV open at the same time, with one following the other, as you can in L4.

I do not have an iPad, so I do not know the answer.
HOWEVER, I do know that with the new website Logos has developed, you CAN PUT the two next to each other.
biblia.com will allow you to access all (or almost all?) your resources.
So in my case, I can see my Lutheran resources, Luther's Works, the Concordia Commentaries, and so on.
My left side of the window is ESV, while the right side is the Lutheran Study Bible. There is a tiny box just between the two, where you can link the two windows together. So in my case, I was looking up Hosea 3:2 in the ESV and so being linked, the commentary went right to Hosea 3:2 in the Lutheran Study Bible.
It may well be, that they are working on improvements to the iPad version, but this will work in the mean time.
