None of my Warren Wiersbe's "BE" series commentaries show up in my library on ipad. What gives?

    What gives is that the publisher has restricted Logos from allowing them to be put on the iPad.  Not all books are available on mobile devices.  This is indicated by the lack of an iPhone icon on the product page.  It seems that Logos hasn't been able to get David C. Cook publishers to modify their license agreement--that publisher has also kept the Bible Knowledge Commentary from being available on Logos-based mobile devices as well.

    Is there a list anywhere of publications not available on ipad? Because that's a deal breaker now for me - I wouldn't want any resource I can access on my Ipad logos. I was looking at Wiersbe's Old Testament "BE" series but now I think I'll hold off.

    If you check the item on the product page you will find a series of icons below the picture that show which machines a resource can be used on.

    Looking at Logos Product page => http://www.logos.com/products notice platform list has 5,446 for mobile use (iPhone/iPad) and 6,088 for Logos 4 (Mac and Windows).

    Searched for Wiersbe, then filtered by platform to find 56 results with Wiersbe mentioned in product description, which are available for mobile use => http://www.logos.com/products/search?q=wiersbe&Platform=Internet

    including Be What You Are (only title with "Be").

    It is great to have the icon on the products pages to indicate that a resource is available in iPhone / iPad.  However, there have been a number of times when the icon's absence or presence was not accurate.  You can't seem to depend upon that.  For example, I delayed buying the Tozer collection for some time until I was sure it was on the IPad.  For some time there was no icon indicating iPhone / iPad mobile availability even after it was available.

    Also, it would be very nice to just have a list of resources (title AND author) available and a list of those not available on iPhone / iPad.  Such a list would increase sales, in my opinion. 

    Availability on my iPad is a major facor in my buying decisions.  After all, I invested in an iPad to read my Logos library.  Anything that I would extensively read is pretty useless to me if it is not available upon the iPad.
