Greek with Easy Word Lookup - Is This Possible?
I just got a tablet, and I'd like to do most of my daily personal Bible study on the tablet if possible. I'm trying to figure out if I can do these things in logos:
- Read the Greek text (done using SBLGNT)
- Quickly/Easily look up words I don't know in a lexicon (can see a simple gloss but would like something a little more in depth... will buy something if this is possible)
- Be able to switch quickly to an English version (or have side-by-side versions)
These things need happen quickly when I'm using the software because otherwise I'll become frustrated and go back to paper books.
Is it possible to do these things?
Also, I figured out that if you hold down a word, it will bring up a little dialog that shows the word and some of the glosses, and gives you options to do a search or a word study. In this dialog, the letters with multiple accents show up as squares. Do I need to install a font or change a setting or something? I'm using a Toshiba Thrive 10.1" with android 3.1.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the response.
I don't currently have a base package. I want to hold off on buying anything until I am sure that this would do what I need.
The word study tool doesn't seem to be working properly. For example, in the attached files I long pressed πιστεύων in the greek text and it brings up ὁ as the option for the word study.
When I click to do the word study, the only thing that I get to show up currently is the translations. Which resources would I need to install (buy?) if I want something to show up in the "Definition" section?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Another known problem, unfortunately, as the previous word is often selected.

A lexicon like DBL Greek + its Hebrew & Aramaic volumes --> http://www.logos.com/products/search?Resource+Type=Lexicons&start=30&sort=pricelo&pageSize=15
But I would consider a Base Package with these lexicons --> see http://www.logos.com/comparison

If I can add a question here, can any of these lexicons be easily referenced from any of the original language texts?
I have no Logos packages and am wondering what is the minimum I need to buy to read the Hebrew text in particular with the ability to tap on a word and get a brief definition on my Android device.
Yes
Yes. Long press a word to get a Bible Word Study (BWS)
Download resources to device for the quick part.
That will depend on your tablet and its internal storage space + your Wi-Fi as BWS is online to Logos Servers.
Do you have desktop Logos 4 and a base Library package?
