Can someone please help me understand what the difference is between the Logos Reasearch books and others in the digital library?
The definitions below are from Logos.com:
Ebooks on the Logos platform come as is from the publisher and are designed to be read cover to cover. Links to Bible verses and books will appear in searches, but they have minimal tagging to help you stay focused as you need.
Logos Editions are powerful because they connect to the tools in Logos Bible Platform. Our team tags every book with important information, like topics covered, biblical events mentioned, and theological ideas explored. That means all you have to do is search Logos, and it scans your library, instantly connecting you to relevant information from across all your books.
Two Types of Logos Editions
Logos Research Editions come with our most detailed interlinking. We catalog topics discussed, Scripture references, theological concepts, bibliographic info, citations, and so much more. Then we connect them to Logos tools so you can access essential info in seconds flat.
Logos Reader Editions are designed to be read cover to cover. We tag Scripture references and some other basics, but forgo the robust treatment given to reference works. This drastically speeds up production, which often enables us to release them the same day as print.

Some context to your struggle to understand the distinction between Logos edition types would help me provide you with a more satisfying answer.
Simply stated the Logos Edition type Research Edition is that resource that receives the full benefit of Logos tagging and linking a process that AFAIK has not been thoroughly described, random e.g.
https://www.logos.com/product/7371/conflict-and-community-in-corinth-a-socio-rhetorical-commentary-on-1-and-2-corinthians?queryId=46a41e15b8da5d2307e328de2359b9be
Click on "Learn More" and read the explanation provided for the Logos Editions. The final type is an Ebook it gets little to no extra processing. It is meant purely for reading, but some of these receive processing as Logos Editions after they have been added to the Logos catalog.
I mix up ebooks and reader editions (both cover to cover).

You're a step away from being an MVP; you're not allowed to be confused by Logos descriptions.
Well, it's because, as an example, research editions, you're not required to read cover-to-cover. All these rules!

These three resouces downloaded earlier today: Today in Christian History Daily Stories, Daily Quotes, and Daily Devotionals. The licenses are temporary. Where can I learn more about them? I can’t seem to find them for sale on Logos … maybe I’m not searching correctly!
Let's pretend I own 100 books. 90 are in the cloud right now. I buy my new computer. I download. Will the 90 books stay in the cloud as before? This is what I want………….OR……Will all 100 download? 2.

Dear Folk, I asked this some several weeks ago in a couple of posts, but fear it got buried in the suggestion/discussion. What should I expect in response and time to respond when I make a suggestion? If I suggest a resource I'd like to see in Logos, when/how will I know if the staff approves/ nixes, and when and where…
Is the Logos for Mac designed and programed from the ground up to be a Mac program? Or is it Logos for windows with a program that allows it to run on Mac? If it is the latter, does Logos have plans for an excellent Logos designed and built for Mac?
I use different laptops for using Logos. When I have to reinstall Logos, it takes a lot of effort to get my personal library installed. I don't want to download all books, just the books I use. Is there a possibility I can save my personal library and make reinstall a lot easier? It would be a great help by installing…
