When you purchase, let's just say a few good books (in case our spouse's are reading the forum also); what's the first thing you do? I usually make sure my favorites are in their perspective collections and tag the ones I want to read later.
Report metadata errors. Yes, that is the accurate answer for the libraries I've purchased in the last 6 months.
I tag mine, and I also add them as 'empty books' in my Calibre library (which is a whole other process by itself).
If some of them were dictionaries or other reference books, I would take a look to see if I want them to be prioritized.
I tag them all. Then, I re-title for commentaries, and specialty books. Then, I review for 'meh', 'needed whenever', and 'oh my!' The latter get read-next tagging. Finally, I review for inclusion in my layout.
Knowing pride precedes the fall, I sit back and admire.
I attempted to do similar using Library Thing. It was useful because it will provide all the book info and a cover, and under "collections" (used differently than how Logos does it), I could list where it is - Logos, Kindle, Calibre, Print (and select multiple if I had it in print and also in Logos). But I've got far too many books and just not enough time.
I don't remember my Logos library count when I first started but it may have been about 2000 books. It was a lot of initial work to get it going; starting out when you already have a huge library would probably be a pain. If you simply want a copy of your Logos library in Calibre, that’s simple enough; getting clean, useful data, along with book covers and book descriptions is where the hard work comes in.
Over the years I've refined (and *documented!) the process of getting the data out of Logos and into Calibre, so that now it's a very smooth operation. I've also extended the usefulness of my Logos books in Calibre by including the Logos resource IDs as identifiers in Calibre. Each Logos book has two identifiers in Calibre; one identifier enables me to open a Logos book in the desktop app directly from Calibre. The other identifier allows me to open a Logos book in the mobile app directly from the Calibre Sync app. These two capabilities make the work worth it.
But I've got far too many books and just not enough time.
Doing a bit at a time, when you're able, goes a long way. Oftentimes I was working on only 10 books at a time, due to time constraints. I thought I would never get done! But I did 😊
(*Documented because there were too many occasions when I forgot a step or two and had to start the process from scratch 😔)
Received my copy of the expanded edition hardcover version today and noticed that one of the introductory pages states it's possible to add a digital copy of this book to Logos. Unfortunately, the link provided (https://logos.com/LexhamPress) takes you to a Baker Books page with no obvious way to obtain the digital copy of…
The Video last month when pre-orders were being taken for the hardcover of Unseen Realm Expanded Edition, announced to us that the digital version was going to be released on October 1. I've not seen or heard anything from Logos about this.
Hi all, I'm looking for help with using syntax search in Hebrew. Context: When one clicks on a hebrew noun, and clicks on the word study selection, I get a screen which lists the grammatical relationships. In that grammatical relationshiops section, it lists all the verbs that the noun is an object for, prepositional uses…
I was watching the September update and saw the feature that links your sermons to the Biblical text. I don't see any margin ribbons or icons showing up, however. Must a sermon had to have been created using Sermon Builder for it to show up? I do not use Sermon Builder to create my messages, but I have well over 1,000…

I don't want it to select the search but go straight to the typing of the note. This would allow me to easily type…
