I would like to have a select few books on my mobile. Is there a way for me to choose which books I want to download, out of my library, to my mobile?

Also, can I choose to download a single book alone?

    I appreciate all the help! @Graham Criddle, and @P. Christoph Blohberger. Sometimes I just fumble too much. But I've got it now. Thanks again!

    You didn't say if you're wanting to do that while on mobile or the desktop. If desktop ….

    Choose your books while in your desktop library. Then click on the Info button and scroll down to Devices. Choose which device(s). It remembers your choices.

    For singles, easier to do on your mobile (like on Kindle).

    By default, Logos Mobile (on Android; not sure about iOS), doesn't download most books. If you want to download a book, open the library and to the right of each book there should either be a check mark (indicating downloaded) or a download icon (to start the download).

    When I want to download books, I select the sort button (double arrow below the funnel filter) and select short by recent. As I scroll through the list, I'll see books I've used recently and can select the ones I want to download.

    Thanks @DMB and @Paul Gibson. Appreciate your replies.

    More questions….

    1. can I stop a book from downloading to my mobile? I have several that I just don't want them taking up the space.
    2. Who determines what is downloaded to my mobile?

    I'm a thinking I would like to have the choice of what is loaded on my mobile but it seems like someone has taken that choice away???

    Thanks again.

    @xnman Only books you choose to download are downloaded in the mobile app. To download click on the icon circled in red. To remove a download click on the icon circled in blue and select to remove the downloaded book.

    @xnman You can also download single ressources from your Library in the infopanel for each book in the web application.
    Where it says "Geräte", in english this should be devices.
    You can click on what mobile device you want to have a ressource downloaded to. Check the box. The next time you start Logos on your mobile device it should automatically download.

    I admit I was wondering about your question … you're quite smart and ask/give good advice. Glad you're part of the forum!
