Book Updates

Question

It just occurred to me, If I own a book in my library, and that same book goes through an update, i.e. 2nd edition, does my logos book get updated or do I need to purchase the newest edition?

In general, we would need to purchase the updated edition as it is considered to be a separate resource.

I think there are cases where there have been updates to Bibles and these have been automatically applied.

It depends on the publisher. Most of the books I have purchased over the years that later came out when 2nd, 3rd, editions, etc., especially where there was a major ISBN number change, I had to re-buy the new versions. The publisher treats the Logos editions the name as print editions.

Occasionally you may find a publisher who releases a minor update/refresh to a book and pushes out the updates free of charge in the Logos editions. I've had that happen with a few of my Logos books.

One area where you may generally receive a free upgrade is eBook editions to Logos-tagged editions of the same book. There are books I bought under Vyrso/Faithlife eBooks/Logos eBooks that later upgraded the same title to Logos-tagged editions, and most of those I received a free upgrade to. This especially happened to a lot of my books during the Wordsearch transition.
