Sync free books from android download to windows?

I downloaded the android app onto my phone and set up this account, and got the sixty free books.  But I can't get them to appear on the windows logos application (wish there was one for Linux or a cross platorm option, the only reasons I sign into windows these days are to use netflix, itunes, and now logos, and I hate using the internet in windows, way too much of a security risk) I have on my netbook, which means they aren't as much use as I'd like.  I've tried syncing from the phone and from the netbook, both have sync turned on.

Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Welcome Katie

    There is no sync between desktop Logos 4 and Android Logos. You get the use of free resources in Android and Biblia but you have to purchase resources for Logos 4. Here are some resources that cost you $0.00 - see http://wiki.logos.com/Free_Logos_Books

    ...So you're telling me it isn't really a mobile app of Logos, it's separate software.  Does it even allow for sync the other direction?  Is this a pre-app, and they're going to fix it later?  Is this also true of Logos' beloved iPhone app?

    And I'd love to get those products, but sadly Logos requires me to give them my credit card information to acquire them despite their being free, so I don't think that's going to happen.  I have no way of knowing if Logos, like other companies and some gas stations, puts a hold on your account for an amount greater than the purchase, and I just can't afford that right now.

    Welcome [:D]

    Logos has mobile apps for Android and iOS, which have free resource access when online.  To download resource(s) for offline use plus more resources, need to purchase them and sign-in with your account.

    Logos 4 on Mac and PC do not include any resources.  Likewise Logos 4 has lots more features than mobile apps.

    In 2009, Logos changed licensing to charge once for resource license, which can be used on many devices.  Due to contractual issues with various publishers, a variety of Logos resources are not available for mobile use.  Personally 11.1 % of my Logos library is not accessible on my iPad.

    And I'd love to get those products, but sadly Logos requires me to give them my credit card information to acquire them despite their being free, so I don't think that's going to happen.  I have no way of knowing if Logos, like other companies and some gas stations, puts a hold on your account for an amount greater than the purchase, and I just can't afford that right now.

    Current Logos (and Vyrso) web server setup needs credit card information on file for $ 0.00 purchase, but does not charge credit card when $ 0.00 order is placed.  Some Logos users have "cash" credit cards on file with $ 1 balance, which they use to place $ 0.00 orders.
