Offline Reading Plan
Anyone know if the plan is to have Reading Plans work in offline mode with downloaded books in the future? Or does it work now and I'm just overlooked the feature? Thanks.

I would also like to know the answer to this question now that the app supports offline books. I am considering purchasing an iPod touch for the purposes of using the Logos app on it, and want to know if the app would be worth purchasing the device. So if I have an iPod touch can I use a reading plan I have while I am offline?

Currently reading plans are not supported offline. I don't have any idea what the future holds. As for whether or not it's worth it to buy an iPod for this app...
I got an ipod touch for Christmas for the express purpose of using this app. So far I have not been dissapointed. It allows me to have both the Bible (in multiple versions) and numerous books all in one convenient location. I have been reading much more lately, which was my desire. I use the app almost exclusively offline, as I don't have regular access to a wireless connection. Some caveats about offline use:
Currently you cannot search books or the bible offline
Currently not every book is available on the ipod/iphone, and of the books that are available, not everyone is available for download (i.e. the NLT). There are ~3000 books available on the iphone (out of ~10000 available for Logos).
For me, the ipod with Logos app has been serving as a wonderful e-reader, and it continues to get better with each version and new set of resources they gain permission for, and I would get it again in a heartbeat. I'd reccomend looking at the list of currently available books and use that as a basis for deciding whether it would be worth it. I'd reccomend the app in an instant, I'm much less eager to reccomend the ipod itself, as that's an expensive purchase.

Thanks for the input. Have you tried the Kindle app at all? This is my other reason for wanting an iPod is to use the Kindle software for it... just wasn't sure if it was easy enough to read from, but if you are reading through the iPod the screen must be large enough and easy enough on the eyes for reading. Thanks again for the input.

John,
I have been reading extensively using both Logos and Staza (another free e-reader). I personally have no problems reading on the screen and actually think it is quite nice! You're best bet is to find a friend (or go to an Apple store) and try it for yourself.

I would suggest waiting until the 27th of January to see what Apple might announce then. It's very likely that an Apple eReader/tablet/something like will be showing up then and you might consider it an alternative to the iPod Touch (albeit at a higher price).

David, I think this has been addressed not too long ago, and now all books that you can read on the iPhone can be downloaded.
