How do I create a note file with full quotations from books that I am reading?
I am asking this because when I highlight some text in any given book, and then choose to "Add a note to...", it only adds a snippet of the selected text in the note file (see image bellow). What I really wanted was to have the whole selected text in the note file so that I could print the note file latter and read all the quotations that I have collected from my resources.
Thanks.

Copy & Paste. The "snippet" is actually the title line of the note… there isn't currently a "quote" view for notes/highlights.

Another option is to use clippings rather than notes. That will give you the quotation and allow you to attach your own comments.
Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."
Sounds good, but... there is something inconsistent with the iPad app.
If I create a "note" in the iPad, logos will use the full quotation as the title of the note (which is what I wanted since the beginning)
On the other hand, there is no "clipping" capability in the iPad app.
So, it seems that there is no consistent way to take reading "notes/clippings" when using the Mac app and the iPad app at the same time. Am I right?

Correct. That is considered a "bug," (or limitation of the iOS app) by Logos.

Correct.

You would have to use my cut & paste method described above.
