Now that HUP is bringing the Loeb Classical Library into the digital era, might it be possible for Faithlife to see they can license the entire Loeb Classical Library for the Noet platform?

Much of the Loeb Classical Library is available already for Noet:
https://noet.com/search?query=%22loeb+classical+library%22
Many more volumes are not shipped yet but are still in Community Pricing on Logos.com, so bid on them while the prices are so low:

(Note that there is currently no access to the CP listings from Noet.com, but I think Faithlife should rectify that.)

Indeed, as essential as many of these writings are for deeply understanding the literary milieu of the NT, it's astonishing how so many of these are languishing in "Gathering Interest" status.
I just looked at all of the Loeb listings on Community Pricing, and a good number of them were heavily weighted toward the cheapest price. Some of them were 60%-80% on the very lowest price listed, and the upper half of the price graph showed no bumps at all. Perhaps Logos should consider shifting the displayed price bracket down a bit in a few cases. Perhaps combine that with a blog post or something....
Good point. And volumes like these, one would think, would eventually garner enough sales to cover production costs.
I recognize my singular interest in these works (I relied upon Aristotle and others for my dissertation); I've never hoped so much for anything to be adopted into the Logos family. In fact, over a dozen years ago I pitched a vision of the day when all such primary sources were available in the Logos library, and now it's close enough to taste. Just a teensy push will get lots of them over the threshold.
I think one of the secrets to getting these supported is to be sure to NOT include them in humongous collections which no one can afford. I think that's the problem with Migne—too expensive as a large unit.
I know. I own all that Logos has put out so far, and I'm in on every other CP that isn't.
In my OP I was asking for the "entire" collection.
Thanks though.
Please see my reply to Rosie.
Yes, I realize you want all of them—be patient, they're probably coming in time.
Hey now George, I'm not as young as you so I don't have all the time to wait for things to hit public domain! [:P]

OK, I get it now, but in your OP (and your subject line) you phrased it as if it were recent that Loeb Classical Library had gone digital, so it seemed like you were asking Logos/Faithlife to get on the bandwagon for the first time.
Now that HUP is bringing the Loeb Classical Library into the digital era...
