Reading Added Books

I recently learned about the ability to add books to Logos on my desktop which is a feature that I love. The format is a little funky, but it is a huge benefit to be able to add books that I have gotten for free, just having to change the format. The only issue that I am having with it is once I have added it to my Logos on my desktop, I am unable to find it on my IOS device (iPad or iPhone). Anyone know of any soluations on how I can view this?

I assume you are talking about "personal books." Currently, personal books can only be synced using Logos 6 between computers. The mobile apps are not able to view personal books at this time.

Yes, personal book sync on iOS is something that has long been awaited and hoped for but has not been implemented yet. With the recent release of Logos 6, they added support for personal book sync across desktop/laptop computers, and we have been told that this is the first step to allowing personal book sync features on iOS. However, the Logos iOS app has not been updated recently with any major features. The are many major features lacking in the mobile app and I know that many people (myself included) are hoping that this changes soon. I am hopeful that an iOS app update is coming soon that will bring support for personal book sync to iOS.

The mobile apps are not intended to have the same feature set as the Desktop Logos app. That said, if you have any suggestions please see here and suggest the features you'd like to see.

Kevin, I have heard many people repeating this line over and over on the forums, but with the amount of money we have invested into our digital libraries with Logos, doesn't it seems like a very realistic expectation that the Logos mobile app will have as many of the desktop features as possible? Sure, I understand that the mobile apps won't have all the bells and whistles that the desktop version has, but the main core engine should be the same or at least the Logos team should be striving for that as a clear and public goal, don't you think?

There are Windows tablets that can run Logos 6 very well, and certainly well enough to read your Personal Books.

The Surface Pro 2 is a very good buy right now, and it runs Logos 6, with Personal Books, very well - better than most desktops.

Gave my iPad away to the grandkids to play games on. It works really well for that. (If you give your iPad to grandkids, be sure to turn of "in app purchases"! Lesson learned!)
