Dave (and the iTeam)

It would be great to be able to mark multiple books for offline use at one time. I was actually thinking it might be cool to be able to mark a collection for offline use. I have a collection of my "go-to" resources and it would be HOT if I could just click "make available offline" for the whole collection.

    Great minds think alike. Let's hope Dave responds to the not-so-subtle flattery [:)]

    Yes please, can we have "Download by Collection" in an upcomming build. I have already discovered that an iPad1 starts giving poor startup performance with about 2000 downloaded, so I would want something less that "Download All" please. Unless of course, the performance issue could be resolved too. The idea of being able to tag selected resources and build a collection on those tags, for a simple way to queue-up the goodies would be nice. Thanks.

    Along the lines of downloading specific collections, I'd like to be able to download prioritized resources as one group since they are the ones I use most.

    Ron, 

    I can sure identify with that experience.

    Some way to "make available offline" for multiple resources at one time would be great. It would also be nice to be able to highlight.

    definitely can say I shared that experience... i upgraded to iOS 5 and need to re-do it all. Is there any plan to allow a mass selection to make all available offline?

    Download All by Collection seems the right answer!

    However, for the present, my PC Beta can't sync a new collection to iOS so I'd need to make a new install just to do so on the current RC.

    I had some 500 offline this time. Only 5 right now, so hours of wasted time, effort and download traffic ahead. Be nice if I could import from an SD card on the camera adapter ... and Logos would not have to pay Amazon so much each month ...

    I agree 110%.  The good news is that if you buy a package there are 100's of resources, and that is also the bad news.  I would be great to use radio buttons to turn resources on and off (the airplane format in Mobile is not it since it requires going in and out of every single resource).   Would also love to be able to turn off whole groups of resources.  In fact would like to see hidden resources fixed on the PC side to allow much easier hidding, and then if you want them hidden on a PC, it's unlikely you want to see them on a much smaller mobile device.

    Actual to be technically correct right now it's all offline unless specifically downloaded.  I think we need a third concept like hidden so that even online resources don't automatically show up in resources unless you choose to activate them.  With a smaller screen and wifi speeds scrolling through hundreds of resources is not appealing at all.
