I don't think it's a good idea for users who have a good Internet connection most of the time. The biggest reason is that a complete reinstall is sometimes the best fix for some glitches. It becomes a hard sell to tell someone to delete their app when they will lose 1000+ resources. Also, sometimes glitches occur when there is a newer version of a resource than has been downloaded. I have chosen to download books I am current reading plus a handful of others I might need in a pinch when I don't have a connection.

Todd - I don't understand your advice... You say you think it's a good idea but you have only downloaded about 25% of your library. [;)] EDIT: About a third. Math was not my best subject. [:)]

I don't have enough space on my iPad. Otherwise I might have downloaded everything (so I didn't have to pick and choose). I have a 32GB iPad with many other apps and media.
I will amend my comments to say that I think you should download any book you think you will use (at least that's what I do).
Even at home on my 8 Mbps connection, I still find that local resources are faster than online ones. (Is 8 Mbps considered slow or fast nowadays? )

Now that auto-redownloading is implemented, it's not a problem for me. I would just let it redownload at night.
Of course if your internet bandwidth is a problem, then you might think twice, since autodownloading seems to be automatic.
But it's not like anything is really lost. The resources are still available online. And if they really needed them offline, then they didn't have any other option in the first place.

Hi Jeremy,
The I pad is a good but limited tool. I would guess that there will be many resources in your library that are rarely, if ever, consulted.
Downloading them, especially if you do have to re-install the app, will take time and band-width.
Unlike the other correspondents I have a severely limited subset of the library downloaded - four bibles translations, two of my favourite commentaries, a couple of dictionaries and a few books that I am ploughing through. Otherwise I rely on wifi to take the load. It works well for me.

You must have bibles with reverse interlinear's attached. The ESV, for example, has a RI if you own a base package. If you just purchase the bible as a separate resource, the RI isn't included. By the way, all word studies are performed online, regardless of translation.

I think it's a good move.
I have downloaded 696 of my 2031 resources, and I have no issues.
