It's the same: In list view (not cover view), scroll slightly upward.
FWIW - If you have any sizable library, I don't really recommend downloading all your resources unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks, yeah I had it in cover view...
i don't axtually want to download my entire library...but it is useful when you want to download collections/authors.
Appreciate the tip!

Alabama24, is there any reason one would want to avoid downloading all their resources if they have the space on their iPad? Does this hinder the performace of the application in anyway, or is it just to conserve space?

Some personal thoughts:
- The best fix for many issues is to delete the app and re download. This is no big deal... Unless you have a ton of books to download.
- Updates to resources happen automatically in L5 and "in the cloud." They do not happen automatically to resources downloaded to your device. Mismatched versions can cause problems.
- I have no hard evidence, but I believe performance will be diminished with a large downloaded library.
The app was designed to have a strong dependence upon the cloud. I keep saying these things over and over to help save others headaches later.

Did not realize that. Thanks for the info. Guess I will need to add this forum to my reading [^o)]

Is there a way to delete large portions of your library on the iPad? I had a lot of stuff downloaded but when I needed some space I could only delete one book at a time. Am I missing a way?
thanks,
Don

Not in a normal way. Depending upon how many you want to delete... You could delete the app, remove the device from your account, and re download the app. That <should> take care of it in a hurry.

I think you can do this from Logos 5 library management.
Select the books you want to remove from the iPad and unclick the appropriate checkbox for the application under the Information Panel.
That should do it - but depends on having Logos 5

One problem I found was that, if you download a large number of resources, you will constantly get reminders to download updates as Logos improves the resources. This can be frustrating, and can be a distraction from actually using the app. I had 50-odd downloads the other day to WBC and some other volumes, and by the time it had done them I had forgotten why I'd opened the app in the first place. This might, of course, have been due to my age, but can distract from the real reason for having Logos in the first place!
EDIT: My observation would also be that a large number of updates also seems to slow down the initial loading of the Home page.
