I agree Jim, and will add that changing their modus operandi from one of selling customers a licence to use a particular version forever to a subscription sale modus operandi is likely to anger and lose some customers who don't want to have to keep paying for the right to use the base software rather than just once for a particular version particularly as many like me would no doubt struggle to keep up with the Joneses in computer ownership and keep buying one of the most current computers. Few if any of us have the means of big Bob who used to own Logos or his successor so I suspect Logo$ is going to take a hit. As for me I am not going to keep subsidising Logo$' apparent greed, something that should not be a characteristic of a Christian company; it's bad enough they sell heretical products because they love mammon not God and don't want to lose this or that sale by doing their best to keep their inventory Biblically sound. I also use Olive Tree and Accordance and it seems to me Accordance is very comparable in terms of their products which they discount on a weekly basis and provide free training no doubt something Logo$ decided to copy. I'm not sure how I'm going to respond to the subscription based sale of Logo$, but I'm getting to the point where I will stop buying from Logo$ and only use it as long as I am technically able to without updating to whatever is current. Jim, I can beat that discount because I have found ebooks on Kobo Books for about half the price charged by Logo$ and I have used Logo$ since the days of C.D.s for installation, but my disappointment with Logo$ is growing. The question is does Logo$ have the brains or willingness to keep customers like us wanting to keep our copy of Logo$ current or are they going to let us become so disenchanted and feeling disrespected that we drop Logo$ in favour of another company still knows how to treat customers and does so instead of using us as guinea pigs for new ideas and thinks we exist just to be cash cows for them when in reality they wouldn't exist if it wasn't for our money!

Yeah. That's what I came here to say.

I have spent thousands of dollars on Logos, and was extremely disappointed with price of this book. I would have snapped it up for the kindle price. Very disappointed in the way Logos is heading..
