Suggestion : filtering out non saved books
I am not sure if there is a way to do this or not, but is there a way to only load or see the books you've saved for offline usage on iOS? I have a massive library and hate how long it takes to load when I save for offline use just a few for regular access and use the rest on my desktop.
Thanks jpg2

Try using the filter "local:" in the library selection box.
The ":" is required, but the quotation marks aren't

As Graham wrote, you just need to use local: to filter for downloaded resources... But I am curious: What do you mean by "I hate how long it takes to load"? I don't see a correlation between filtering for downloaded resources, and how long (what?) takes to load?

so each time I open the app, I have to retype it? On the desktop that seems reasonable, but on a mobile device, it seems more reasonable to just have it as a way of filtering.

filter strings in the library seem to stay there until explicitly changed.
are you not seeing this?
And, Alabama's question above is a good one. Can you expand on the problem you are seeing?

Nope... you shouldn't have to... unless, perhaps, you kill the app (via multitask bar) or you run out of memory.

Even that does not delete the Local: filter. I regularly kill apps when I will not be using them for a few hours—or even less time—and the Logos library filters remain as I typed them.

Good to know. And that's a fact, Jack. [:)]

Does this work on my iPad? I don't see it.

Yes. Type local: into the library search box. If that doesn't work, post a screen shot.

Here is a screenshot from my phone. It works the same on iPad... (unless you are on a REALLY old version of the app).
