Q: How do I copy Logos 4 books to my hard drive?
A: The last step in the installation process is indexing—when Logos automatically copies your books to your hard drive. Logos 4 indexes your entire library word-for-word so you can search thousands of books in less time than it takes to pull one print book from the shelf. Depending on the size of your library, this may take a while, but once it’s completed, you can spend more time studying and less time searching. Read more here.
