How many of you actually read a book e.g. a commentary like WBC or NAC from cover to cover in Logos? I’m trying to gauge my use of Logos against how others may be using the software. For instance, I find myself more likely to read an actual book from cover to cover and enjoy doing so but within Logos I’m more likely to only read just the passage I’m interested in or studying for a particular sermon or presentation. It’s difficult for me to sit down and read an entire electronic book. Perhaps it’s my screen width, font size, etc., that wearies my eyes or the lack of a visual clue of how much I’ve read and how much I have to go but somehow reading a digital book doesn’t “translate” for me as well as reading an actual book. All of this has a bearing on which medium I choose when purchasing a commentary set. In many cases it’s a no-brainer – the digital price almost always beats the hard copy price but do I really benefit if I have the entire NIVAC and not read it all.
There’s no doubt that digital is here to stay and maybe I’m caught up in one of those “generational things” – I love the feel of a book in my hand, a bible to the side, a cup of coffee and a couple of highlighters. Anyway, I’d like to hear how others approach this and what works best for you. I “heard” how many of you in this forum study entirely from Logos. What are your tips, suggestions, comments….
