Linked commentaries & Bibles
In Logos 4 for Windows, if I link a multi-volume commentary to the open Bible, then it automatically switches to the correct volume when necessary.
In Logos for IPad this doesn't seem to happen. When studying, it is not a big issue to change the book manually to the correct volume, but whilst in Bible study meetings, it's a bit of a nuisance. To help a bit, I purchased the Abridged version of the Expositor's Commentary (one of my favourites, although the Tyndale is my preferred one.)
I tried the New Bible Commentary, but it was not to my taste - I prefer something a lot more technical.
Is there a way to get Logos for Ipad to automatically select the correct volume? If not, are there any plans to do so. (This would be my number 1 wish for Logos for IPad if it can't do it. The Exegetical Guide would be a close second).

I don't think there is. However, if your commentary set has a series name, then you can just leave that in the library reference window and scroll to select any volume you like. I have no inside info on whether Logos will ever include this on iPad, but it sure is handy on desktop."For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power"

Andy - I want to make sure I understand you correctly… You are able to scroll through your bible and have it linked to a commentary set (such as the Word Biblical Commentary) and the correct volume of the multivolume set will open up?
That sounds like a neat trick… how do you do it?

If I understood your statement above correctly, then I think the answer is no. As far as future features goes, Logos is generally hush, hush.

I use the Tyndale, Pulpit, Epositor's and Barne's Notes, all of which are multi volume commentaries.
All I do is, in Windows Logos 4, is set the Bible/Exegetical Guide and the Commentary's Link Set to A and then they all synch nicely. When I change verse to one that requires a different volume in the commentary set to open, it just happens. I don't think I'm doing anything particular to make this happen, it just does.

That’s the way it works for me, too. I thought it did for everyone. [:^)]
