Logos is the world's leading tool for digital Bible study, and a product of Faithlife.
Follow- Many have asked how to open up their Kindle app from within Logos because some of their books are not available in Logos but they own them on Kindle. I set this up and it works well. Then I realized that I can use the same Logos URL function to connect to Project Gutenberg (https://www.gutenberg.org/) which would provide "free" web reading access to over 70,000 books. Of course, Gutenberg is not exclusively Christian or Bible resources, but there are thousands of commentaries and writings of Christians that are easily searched and accessed by connecting the URL to Logos the Logos toolbar on the home screen.Project GutenbergProject Gutenberg is a library of free eBooks.www.gutenberg.org

Absolutely, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvLMelzK20k Basically, to add an external app (e.g. Kindle) or an external web site (e.g. Gutenberg.org) to your Logos Toolbar Shortcut, you drag and drop a link from your external PC app (computer address) or URL (hyperlink) from the web site onto your toolbar. You may have to drag it around until you find free area on your toolbar to drop it. If you are successful, you will see the icon of the link on your toolbar. My preference is to include a label with the icon, so right click on the icon to add a label if you prefer a label name on the toolbar.
- Is Logos redirecting almost every page to the main Logos website, 10% coupon for a package, and the advertisement for the big reveal coming up? Lately it seems like I can't stay long on any Logos or Faithlife page or even the Logos web app without it trying to redirect me. Any thoughts, anyone?
- If you are talking about the web site, I've not experienced that. I just went in and clicked on a few links and don't get any redirects. I have seen a banner at the top of the Logos Mac app.
- Weirdly, almost everything I try to visit, from blog articles to discussion groups to sale pages, all redirects to the main Logos page with those advertisements within a short amount of time. I then have to try to click page back to get where I was. I have no idea why. It's never happened before.

- Hello Rev. Obermeyer, I’m interested in exporting a list to Excel. Not a problem if I’m not able to. I’ve exported a couple of other lists (see my other comment) and was curious to know if I could do the same for my courses. Thank you!
- I don't think there's a way to export the course list per se, but perhaps in your Library export file you could sort by type or something to extract the courses, then save that portion as a file of its own.
- That’s my next plan, Thanks!
- Can I specify a Bible version for a Sermon document that is different from my preferred Bible without changing my preferred Bible? I want to pull verses from a different Bible just for this sermon, but I do not want to change the default Bible throughout Logos.
- Within your Sermon document, look for the "Reference" tool or the Bible citation area. Here, you should be able to specify the Bible translation you want to use for that particular document. https://boxingrandom.com
- I'm sorry, Faithful User, I don't see either the tool or the "citation area" that will allow me to select a translation for the whole document. Perhaps you could provide a "click on this" tutorial to get me top that tool.
- Those are in the Tools menu, not the Sermon Document. His account appears to have been removed, perhaps for the spammy link he gave.
- If you zoom out (e.g., to something less than 100%), you'll probably see an additional column appear.
- I guess the margins aren't really that significant. If you adjust the width of your window, you'll see that we do fill the full space if there's room for another column. So I think it's mostly just about the math in terms of how much space and how many columns will fit based on your scaling/zoom and resolution.
- I changed the program scaling to 80% and got 4 columns
- Hi Logos Team. I am having an issue with the pronunciation feature in Logos when attempting to search a lemma. When searching any greek lemma for instance, I type in the search box and only english characters appear. So the entire list of greek words words disappear. So essentially search does not work at all. How to I switch the keyboard to use greek characters when a greek lemma is selected?
- thank you for update, however the issue is happening on my laptop win10 machine, not on iphone
- The Factbook will let you search for Greek and Hebrew words, use the keyboards, and pronounce them, if that's a useful alternative to the Pronunciation Tool for you.
- To search for Greek, search g:philos; to search for Hebrew, search h:ahab.
- Hello Logos Team. I have a feature request. Currently, it is a bit cumbersome to access the highlights feature. What I mean is that one can select the text and then highlight it from there, but I think it would be a very nice feature to have a highlights button added to the menu buttons. The menu could be a drop-down menu that lists the most recent and most used highlights. It could also have a link to open the full highlights window. This way, it would be always available and visible for quicker access. I've attached a screenshot of where it would be very helpful. Is this under consideration? Can this feature be added? Thanks!
- You can drag the Highlight tool button to the favourites section of the toolbar, to give you a handy shortcut. There is also a new feature available in the Early Access of the Logos Pro subscription (https://www.logos.com/early-access) which puts the Highlight button exactly where you suggest in each open resource. It only opens the Highlighting tool and doesn't have a drop down option. Hope this helps!

I added mine to the my top bar. I just wish they would quit enlarging the Passage or Topic input box and pushing my icons off my screen. It used to be much smaller and I had many more icons up there.- Buck McDaniel adjusting the Program Scaling and maybe even the Content Scaling in the Program Settings might help you better see your icons, text, etc.
