As one of the previous posters, I also prefer to have the option of reading from my own Personal Book Bible translation. I often use my phone when studying the Bible, and have to use a separate Bible app alongside Logos in order to read from my personal translation. At this point, this is the only missing feature I've been able to identify which prevents me from exclusively using Logos for Bible Study.
As I study for lessons and sermons , I generate my own dynamic translation of the passage and add it to my own , ever growing , study version of the Bible , stored in Logos as a PB Bible. Not only do I benefit greatly from having the results of my translation work saved as a PB Bible alongside commercial translations on the Logos desktop platform , but it is also segmented with my own pericope titles and is formatted in ways that help me see the flow of the passage and its context.
I include my translation of the study passage in my sermon documents so I can use it when teaching or preaching from my tablet , but sometimes I need to see the context or other passages in my PB Bible to answer questions during a lesson or after a sermon. Getting my laptop out for such occasions isn't always practical.
I also create other PB Books that contain information that I collect from various sources and for various purposes , so I have them in the Logos eco system for quick reference and access.
Being able to access my PBs on my laptop and my desktop (via the upload function in PB Builder) is nice , but I really need these resources available on my tablet so they are with me whenever and wherever I need them , for both study purposes and just for reading.
Personally , I don't see the difference between being able to upload from my laptop to my desktop and being able to upload from my laptop to my tablet - it is still restricted to my eyes only , there is no distribution beyond my own use , so there should be no copyright or other issues that would cause a problem.
A long time ago , PBBs were very limited in their capabilities – they weren’t much more than separate documents in a file drawer. One day Bob Pritchett decided that PBBs would be elevated to the same capabilities as published resources , and it was made so. Now is the time to help PBBs catch up to the advanced capabilities of published resources by making them fully available on all platforms to the user who owns them.
Please , make it so. (And at the same time , please fix the problems that have been reported for several years with the PB Builder on the desktop platform. Pretty Please?)

I load a lot of personal book, usually older theological books in the public domain. I also load each month's Table Talk magazine as I receive a digital copy of it. Not having these resources available in the app prevents me using these resources when preparing documents from the app. It also prevents me from using a table to read them which is much easier than reading on my laptop. I can, of course, load them onto my Kindle but would prefer to have them all in one place with my other theological resources.
If Faithlife management would consider this, it would be a great help to most of us. If it's a concern over people not buying books, then make a version of the mobile app that would be a one time cost extra. I'll bet you'd be surprised how many people you would get that would gladly pay the extra to have the ability to use there personal books in app.
I know it would be of great benefit to me!!!.
