- All these are classic works. Logos is a Marketing machine, these works are not worth 8k, and you're not getting a "great" deal. It's nothing more than a marketing ploy (like all their specials).
- well said Nimit. This is the same marketing method cable channels use- get 300 channels pay a fortune a month to watch 3 of these channels. Wish Logos would transform from marketing driven to customer driven. Example - give a good discount on your house brand books Lexham Press.
- Bobby, the point that many others have said is that these works, if you wanted them in print, ok, they may cost a lot, but you're not getting a print copy, a digital one, in which case the Digital copy should be almost nothing except labor costs.
- Joe, I wish they would too on their Lexham stuff. It's very good.
- Ok, so I'm changing my original review. I don't completely dislike this feature, but I don't feel like it's totally necessary. These add-ons should be included in the future updates. I emailed the President of Logos and he sent me a very nice email back. I mentioned to him the idea of a subscription based model for software, which is what Microsoft does as well as Adobe with their Photoshop, etc. And, I think that's what Logos should do completely. I'd pay X dollars to have complete access to all the features. The Logos Web app I do hope will become a feature free for all.
- Now that Accordance comes on PC, and runs great on iPhone, not sure what advantages Logos has. Believe me, I've spent too much to switch now. I guess I just don't like the business side of it all. I agree they need to make money to stay in business but to me that should be a secondary goal
- "I too agree that they need to make money to stay in business", I will put forth a plan shortly for both parties to benefit. Stay tuned. C T
- Sounds really great reading, I wonder what studies are done for those who grow up in Christian homes and how many kids leave church once they're on their own?
- Didn't realize that the Bible was updated in 2011. Thus, my old 1st edition is no good, and I've got to have the latest and greatest. In an age when technology changes every nanosecond, God's word is eternal, never changing. Now only if publishers were so gracious and would offer to update these at little or no cost. Having to purchase this is a total loss. A person with the print edition could at least sell his or her copy. This is an instance when having an electronic copy makes no sense.
- Worthless. Most of these works should be public domain. All anyone is paying for is the convenience to use them in Logos. Love Logos, hate the sales pitches. Got an email from the VP how he wanted to make a great offering at years end. Translation, hey guys were low on our goals for the year, we need a solid year end cash cow. This was the best they could do?
- There's really no accounting for taste/preference/etc. I received the same email and it motivated me to purchase. You received it and obviously felt less than positive about it. But what a privilege to live in a world where this option is available and we can both choose to "like/buy it" or "deem it worthless/pass on it". We aren't all wired the same and I bought it in part because I thought the convenience factor was worth it for me. In my "paying" job I also spend a portion of my time "making offers to clients and/or potential clients" so when someone, like Logos, makes an effort to "sell" to me, I actually like it. Thanks for speaking your mind; have a great New Year!
- This needs to be unbundled. I understand the costs associated with bringing texts to print, but this is insane. At some point publishers and Logos need not peddle the Word of God.
