As some of you might know, I have been wrestling lately with the time it takes to open Logos .

I know the books will remain in my account (or not)

How do I delete books I dont read or have little or no interest in?

Thank you!

You can Hide them as per https://community.logos.com/kb/articles/970
They will be removed from your computer after a restart. But beware that they can only be restored one at a time.

Logos doesn't allow you to delete books and removing them from your local installation simply offloads them to the cloud. The solution? Hide unwanted books. Using Program Settings, you can quickly and easily hide books so they don’t appear in your Library, Search, etc.

Remove books from the Library using any of the following options: Right-click a book and select Remove from device. Open the Library's information pane by clicking the on the upper right and ensure that the Information tab is selected, click the book to select it then click Downloaded > Remove from device. In Tile View, click the more actions icon for any book and select Remove from device.

where can I see the hit count in an inline search?
I am sorry for this question as I know it is basic, but I decided to give it another shot to work the the OL, so I just did a basic inline search, but I seriously can't find where it says how many hits there are. I happen to know there are 26 hits in 21 verses, but where do I see that here? Thanks.
Is there no longer access to the Thompson Chain Reference System?
I enjoy using the Thompson Chain Reference Bible and I was hoping that there would be an available option on Logos to purchase. It appears that at one time there was an option. I was curious to see if there was any talk of adding it back or if it will no longer be available for purchase. Thank you!
