OK, I admit it. I do not read manuals, hate to have to learn new software, and object to minor "improvements" generating big $$$ for software companies at my expense.
However . . .
Logos 6 is AMAZING! It does so many things and does them so nicely. If you have a large library in Logos, it will be even more useful to you thanks to some of the improvements, tweaks, and new features. Check it out: https://www.logos.com/.
One of the cool little additions is the ability to take any piece of text (or photo) and turn it into a professional slide "automatically." They even give you a variety of styles to choose from. The attached Calvin quote was created by 1. highlighting the text in the Institutes, 2. right clicking and selecting "visual copy," 3. selecting one of nearly 50 templates (several of them with drawings of Calvin in various places on the template), and 4. saving it as a JPEG (I could just have easily ported it over directly to Powerpoint or Proclaim, printed it, or saved it in some other popular format).
They also have a number of animations, archaeological "before and after" photos/reconstructions of ancient sites (e.g., Herod's Temple, Ephesus, Pergamum, Sardis, etc.).
Pretty nifty!
BTW, if you ALREADY own Logos, sign in before looking at the prices. They will give you credit for what you already have and this may reduce the sticker shock. They also have a nice variety of designer packages (e.g., Anglican, Reformed, Lutheran, Baptist, etc.) to tailor the resources to your likely interests. My package, for instance, was about $800 less expensive than the "Gold" asking price due to the books already owned in my library.
