Do I need an internet connection to read my books on an iPad?
mm.
Only if you haven't downloaded them (info symbol > Download, in library view). I assume you already knew that and have a bigger issue?
Actually I didn't know that. How do I go about downloading or seeing if I already have then on my iPad? Heading out to Mexico for Christmas and what to make sure I can access my books.
So how do I do what you mentioned?
If you go to your library view, you'll see an 'i' with a circle on the far right of each resource. If it's filled in, it's downloaded. If not filled in, it's in your library on the server.
If you click on the circle with the 'i', a popup will show a Download (or Remove). Click on that.
Alternatively, for Christmas reading, you can go to Logos5 library, and there's a column for Mobiles ... you can choose there which resources to move to your iPad for Christmas (and later remove if you want).
Christmas in the North Pole?? Helping Santa??
BTW, in library view, the covers view is nice. I like that where I only have a few resources downloaded. In that view, the 'i' circle is next to the title.

Getting a REALLY early jump start? Using a different liturgical calendar? Just anxious to go? You already missed "Christmas in July." [:)]
FWIW - I do not recommend downloading your entire library. I currently have about 200, which I think is probably too much. I keep some good general study tools (i.e. single volume commentaries and study bibles, a few bible dictionaries, etc.) along with books that I am "currently" reading or subjects I am "currently" studying. I think I need to revise my definition of "currently" to reduce my footprint a bit. [;)]

Another tip you might find useful: if you're online and want to see which books have been downloaded to your device, you can type "local:" (without the quotes) in the library search field and see only downloaded books.

Thanks Drew. I did not know that and it is much better than turning off my wireless.
