Renting Books on Logos

Skyler

There are many times where I am researching a passage for a sermon and want to quickly look up a scholars opinion on a passage but cannot justify buying the entire book/commentary. I have often thought that it would be nice to have a feature built into logos for renting books. Renting could expire quickly, with limited functionality, and access (no printing or copying, one book at a time, 15 page access, expires after 24 hours, etc.).

You can rent certain books, Like the Spurgeon commentaries

My seminar now has access to the Perlego platform. It is a real 'game changer'. All the necessary research without the need to buy the expensive books, a great reading experience, etc... Logos should have a book rental option, in addition to the purchase option. The rental option could be on a case-by-case basis, or by full subscription. On Perlego, the annual subscription is $8/month.

Logos subscription FAQ page states:

Can I still buy and keep books, or will they be subscription-only too?
… In the future, we may add book subscription options for those who want it, but we don’t foresee a time when we’ll stop selling permanent licenses to books and curated libraries.

Hopefully the "book subscription options" will be provided soon, so that we will be able to rent a much broader list of books/resources than those which are provided on the Logos rentals page.

If Logos had something like Perlego for access to their entire catalogue I would be a subscriber for life. The tools and features are nice but will never replace the need to sit down and read. Having access to such a library would be a game changer.

Some books I want to own, in paper or in digital. But for other books having access to a library to rent books is a better option. And as we know for 8EUR/month (annual subscription) Perlego offers +1 million books!
