Minor point on reading plan

I took the plunge and set up a reading plan. One small problem - the first day's worth of reading has no content - I read the table of contents. Seems like I should start at the preface not the front cover. Not that I expect Logos to know the first real page but start and end pages might be a good option. I meet with a friend to discuss Bible studies - we meet every other week and set the reading length up at the end of each meeting. Being able to say from page x to page y in n days would make the reading plan extremely useful - a begin/end option would make it fit my needs.

You can do most of that already. I built a plan to read The Passion Conspiracy pages 9-216, every day, starting Nov 6 and finishing in 6 weeks. Click on "All Passages" to set the page range. Unfortunately, "days" is not a choice in reading length. Weeks is the shortest period.

Logos, can "days" be added as a finish time option?

Thank you - I didn't see that. Probably the most common reason for asking on the forum. [:$]

There was another quirk. I starting setting it up so close to midnight that when the reading plan showed I was already behind!

Just discovered that setting the range for a reading plan does not always work. In "The Tabernacle Shadows of the Messiah" the option for setting the portions for reading is not present. I was then presented with a plan to read the title page, skip a day, read the contents, and other strange portions for reading. So, it appears that this feature still needs work for some resources. Perhaps the red face was premature [8-|], seems to depend upon the resource.

Some older books don't support page numbers and that's why you aren't given that option.

Guess that makes sense. I also would believe that the benefit gained (more flexible reading plans) probably would not be worth the effort, as there are more important things to fix.
