    Adding print books to your library only adds the ability to include them in searches. You still have to use the physical book for other functions.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Thank you M. J. Smith.

    So it is very limited, as far as being used to glorify God, in any application using Logos?

    Licensing would definitely prevent them from unlocking the Print Library books within the Logos Library.

    Print Library IMHO is one of the underrated Features they released. Scan all your Print books into the Print Library and most searches will show the page number(s) that are relevant in the Print Book.

    Just wondering, I have a few books that are decades old. Will "they" be in the Logos Print Library already, and if not…

    If Logos only has the most recent copy of a print book I can foresee a few problems.

    I use a flip phone ($12/ month) so I do not have a scan feature on it; but I have ordered a relatively inexpensive scanner unit so I hope I do not have to return it as a not needed item.

    There is a way to add the books to the Print Library without a scanner or smart phone camera - it can be done via the instructions → https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/8688477672589-How-do-I-manage-my-print-library-catalog

    Yes, I saw that earlier and, but in an earlier look through there seemed to be a lot of print books that I would not have bought anyway. When I searched for several titles that I di own I did not find them so I just said get a scanned.

    Thanks for the push, I am looking for books that I own one book at a time to add them and I have found two, so far.

    I had a small amount of books that I tried to add when the tool was first released, but they were newer books that Logos hadn't carried at the time. Once they carried the book, it added fine.

    In relation to the older books, yes, there were a few that I was never able to add.
