What is the best way to read a book and keep track?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have several books that dont really assist me in sermon prep but are just regular books here. What is the best way to read these books and keep up with where your at in the book and not lose it? I tend to read multiple things at the same time on my phone or tablet.

Hi @Nathan Hastings,

I use clippings, or I saved them as Reading layouts, or I never close them on my phone app & refer them when I'm on the desktop.

Logos appears to have an automatic bookmark, opening to the page where I stop if I read it on Desktop app, but I find that the syncing in real-time is not as sophisticated as Kindle or Audible so clipping is the way I go now or I use my brain to memorize where I stop.

Sometimes I have to get out of the comfy chair that I just sat down or worse (the bed) & walk a few steps to my desktop then open the Logos App & the book to see where I stop coz I forgot to memorize where I stop lol 😂

On Desktop I drag them to a folder in Favorites.

On Android mobile this doesn't seem feasible, so I would create a New Layout (from Tabs in toolbar) and load the books to read (you will be encouraged to save your current layout).
