MJ Smith made me aware of this product that Concordia sells (on CD-ROM, mind-bogglingly! in this day and age? really??!!)
It would be great to have it in Logos. So I've created a suggestion for it on the feedback board, which you can vote for here:

I am with you - but the price they ask is ridiculous.

That's the price Concordia asks for a CD-ROM product. It is not necessarily the price Logos would ask for a digital only product. And yes, I agree, that CD-ROM price for a PDF file and an RTF file is ridiculous. The cost of the CD and mailing is negligible, maybe $10 or so.
I found that they do have a few samples from that collection in downloadable form, which you can get to by clicking the Other Formats tab. For example "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God". But that is $1.29. More than five times as much as the "less than 25 cents per lesson" that they say the entire collection costs, which is awfully steep. I suppose one could reverse that logic and say if a single one is really worth over a dollar, then the price they are asking for a collection of 600+ of them isn't that out of line.
Similar material from Catholic publishers have similar prices because what one purchases is a master copy and the right to generate copies to distribute, often intended as bulletin inserts. The price is high for an individual's use but reasonable for a parishes' use.
