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!

When I publish a sermon from Proclaim, it is not saving the first slide as a cover image. It used to, but no longer. Now I just have blank images. In my Proclaim presentations I have a start recording prompt, then the first sermon slide (always an image, never blank), then other sermon slides, then a stop recording prompt.…
Currently the The Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament and New Testament Collection (TDOT/TDNT) is on sale at a 60% discount. I have all the volumes except Volume 8 (The Index) so the price is good. I can't see any value of having the Index in Logos, because searching is easy without it, but I'm asking the question…
I'm not interested in a Topic search, rather, I am interested in knowing what Logos online search Topic selection will surface a particular resource/book. That is, more directly, given a particular book, what search Topic selection would find it? george. (Win11, latest.)
A pop-up dictionary and grammar reference appears when holding the cursor over a word in a biblical text. Is there a way to increase the size of the font. The default is much to small to use in class.
I'm using the recent tablet version, but unless I'm connected to wifi I can't even search my top Bible. I couldn't find anything about it in the 'help'. Am I doing something wrong?
