SDA pioneers work
there are great works of the SDA pioneers and those are available for free in the EGW CD-ROM or in other websites they have e-books in different formats... Is logos going planning to add them??

Welcome to the forum.
There are many useful works there. Yes, lets get them in to Logos.

I second the motion. Welcome to the Forums David.

I've tried from two sources to get usable PDFs, unsuccessfully. There are complications I can't discuss. Will keep trying. It appears that I'm close to getting at least several of these important titles.

The PDF link http://www.aplib.org/?page_id=664
the Mobi ebooks (for Kindle) link http://www.adventaudio.org/ebooks/?page_id=137
One can get to these by the prior link

Thanks for that link. Unfortunately, the fact that they are available elsewhere does not make them automatically accessible to Faithlife. Even public domain items, if marketed by other groups, may have complications to complex to get into here--not the least of which is funding pre-pub expenses. Certainly we want the our foundational documents in Logos SDA, and I'm working toward that goal.

Examples off the top of my head:
Disney Studios have released many very old faerie tales. If you try to use one of those very old faerie tales you run in to the Disney Studio Lawyers.
Sometimes when one creates a PDF of an very old document to publish one adds minor known errors. [sea for see or too for to for example: things that might be seen as uncorrected OCR errors but might have been added deliberately] Then when someone else publishes a copy of that very old document they had better be sure they did not use 'the others' PDF as a source or they may get hit by a formatting copyright. [even if the text is in the public domain the formatting may not be public domain.]

That's correct, David. Sometimes we will purchase right of use for those proprietary PDFs of a highly desirable public domain document, if that's the most cost-effective way of getting that data into an exportable file that can be tagged with the latest Logos technology.
