Some problems with books.logos.com resources

I really love the books.logos.com idea. I really hope that you can add to it, possibly by allowing us to suggest archive.org PDFs to the service.

But there are a few problems that need to be sorted out.

  1. Images are requested via http before being redirected to https. That's a wasted call.
  2. Images that have already been downloaded are requested again. There are two requests:
  • One to Amazon S3 which gives the error "The requested range is not satisfiable"
  • One to mediaapi.logos.com
  • There doesn't seem to be any way of selecting the text in the image. I know there'll be lots of OCR errors, but it would still be useful.
  • Hyperlinks to bible references have been added, which is great. But it would be nice if:
    • The reference showed on hover, and not just on click.
    • The references subtly highlighted in some way (as in normal resources).
  • As someone else has mentioned, a fit width option would be useful.
  • There's a bug which causes images to switch between colour/mono has you go through them.

    • This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!
