Why don't all of my books on my laptop version of Logos (Scholars + hundreds of addtl. books I've purchased) show up in the Library on my iPod Logos app?

    Hi John - welcome to the forums.

    Most of them should although, due to licencing restrictions - not all of them are currently available.

    Do you mean you aren't seeing any, or is it that you are just missing some?

    John - In addition to what Graham shared with you, I want to emphasize that it is the publishers licensing restrictions that won't allow you to view those resources. The official view of Logos is buy once, view anywhere. Unfortunately not all authors/publishers agree.

    Some of the addtl books I bought over last 10 years (that show in Libronix 3) don't show in 4.0 on my laptop, and some of the same books don't show on the iPod. Also, why wouldn't Personal Books show on the iPod/iPhone?

    If they don't show up in L4, they won't show up on your mobile device. Many/most of your L3 books should be available to you in L4, but Logos needs to know that your own them. Are these resources on CD? Do you have unlock codes? My preferred method is to contact Logos customer service with proof that I own those resources. They can attach the licenses to your account and then the files will download next time you start L4. If you have the CD's, there are other methods, but a PC user will have to walk you through it (I use Mac's). 

    why wouldn't Personal Books show on the iPod/iPhone?

    Just to make sure we understand one another... When I say "Personal Books" I mean books that you have created and added to L4 through the compiling of .docx files through the "personal book builder" (aka PBB). The reason that these files do not show up on your mobile device is because they are currently not synced with Logos' servers. This is also why when you compile a book on one computer, it doesn't work on another.
