Logos books are geared toward use with the Logos Bible software, and the Logos Bible Software is intended for Bible study. With so many "features" available to the user, you really need to run the program on a desktop, or at least a laptop, so that you have more room on the screen to spread things out.

I suppose that you could run the software on a smartphone--I think that there is even an app for that. But I certainly wouldn't recommend it. A tablet? Well, maybe, if it is a _large_ tablet.

What you certainly can do, on a desktop all of the way down to a smartphone, and do well, to one extent or another, is to read a Logos book. Thus my reason for posting the Logos book deals on a website (Mobileread) intended for the discussion, and passing along of information, related to mobile electronics.

Another thing that I should mention is that Logos is a Faithlife company. Verbum, Vryso, Biblia (or it may be Biblica--I get them confused), and maybe another company or two are under the same Faithlife umbrella. The company has designed things so that any (as far as I know) book of one subsidiary will run on the same platform as another one of their subsidiaries. Each subsidiary is intended for a different kind of user (it's called "market segmentation," and lots of companies do it). For example, Logos and Verbum appeal to the more academically, studious type of reader, while Vryso appeals to a more casual reader.
