Hey guys I am looking at moving up in the world of bible software.
One thing that I liked about using ESword was that the community had some free add ons in terms of commentaries and such. Does Logos have such a community that offers resources like that? I did note that the prices are kind of high but then again I typically buy used books off of amazon. Anyways I am looking at that Scholar's library potentially.
I have searched through some older threads here and people seem to be pretty happy with those but then again they were older threads. I remember briefly trying it on an older struggling computer and there were load issues. Since years have passed from those threads that I viewed would you say that things seem to load in a timely fashion?
I also read about potential discounts and was wondering if there were pricing discounts available (Pastor, student, etc).
My only real complaint by looking at the comparison chart is that even if you go the next step up you might lack something from a less expensive version. I am of the mind that if you are buying a better version it should include the things that were in the previous lesser version. Not the case here it seems. Ah well. I am not the boss.
I would love to hear more opinions from new users as well as long time users. All I can remember is reading D McFadden's post about using it from the 90s? (did i get that right?) That's a pretty good testimony for the software. I would like to see if newer users feel overwhelmed or if they pop on in and just plug away.
I love the idea behind word searching commentaries within "seconds". The amount of time to be saved seems astounding.
