Add Read Later feature to the desktop app

Please add the function of add book to read later to the desktop. The desktop client is where I go through and find books that I want to read and so this is very much needed on the desktop to be useful.

@dnews-64, you can currently do this by adding the tag #ReadLater to any book in your library. We'd like to more officially bring Read Later to desktop in the future, but this may suffice in the meantime.

There should be a simple way to keep a list of books you want to read, in prioritized order, like a watch list on any of various movie streaming sites. Users have come up with hacks for doing this via tags which works OK, but isn't as nice as it could be.

I envision a feature where you could check a box in the Info Panel to add or remove a book from your "To Read List" and a place in the UI where you could see your read list and drag books up and down to prioritize the order in which you want to read them. Or you could remove them from that list directly once you'd already read them. Or drag a book to that list from the library.

There are a couple of related features already, but neither one does exactly what is needed here:
Reading Lists - requires volunteer time curating topic-based reading lists on a website, for use by anyone. Not a personal list, easy to maintain, for one individual.
Reading Plan - this is just a scheduled plan to read a particular resource

EDIT: There's also the #ReadLater tag, but that's implemented on mobile only so far, and it does not include the ability to prioritize reading order.

@Phil Gons (Faithlife) Thanks for the tip. It also seems like a good way to sell more books :)

Another suggestion that may help is to create a "Read Later" folder in the toolbar. Then you drag the books to the toolbar and then write the name of the folder where it should go, in your case, "Read Later". The Logos 9 system is not very practical, but it helps me a lot. I also have a folder called "exegesis", another "theology", and another "current series" that I'm preaching.

I'm surprised this doesn't have more upvotes. Seems like a natural companion to the Reading Plan feature.

Agree. Would like this to work like it does in iOS. Thanks.

Small feature parity request that has been in the ‘Hope to do’ list for at least four years. Maybe in the new subscription model we will start to see some of these refinements.

Paul Burns

Please… a read latter just like the IOS… the concept from IOS is already built and in place.

I would even like to have the option to add to the read later as you buy books… instead of them just going to the library.. Setting: Automatically add new books (book or audio) to the Read Later list.

Reading Plan for Print Library Books
Can we add functionality so that Logos can help me keep track of reading books in my print library? It probably would need a final page number field to be entered to confirm which edition or a book (even if it's just equally dividing raw page numbers).
