I got my email a while ago, but had to issue the "Update Now" command to actually start the download. Once started, it came pretty fast.
3 hours after my email arrived L4 still repeatedly insisted no updates available. Then it found the update and is now downloading - and I'm going back to bed![;)]

Glad to see this fine resource in Logos at long last. While we might quibble over image resolution as we have with other resources, there is a lot more here than images. I have never seen a more complete study Bible than the ESV. I doubt there is one. I appreciate the work that went into getting this into Logos format.

I whole heartedly agree. It is a wonderful resource, both the dead tree version and this version. I've waited a long time for this to be available on Logos and am very excited now that I get to use it with all my other resources. So any quibbles from me over the images are just that.

I just got my ESVSB downloaded. When I got home from work, a storm had knocked out my cable/internet connection.
I went to bed early and then got up and found that the internet was back.
Downloaded the 245 MB and did a quick browse.
This is a great addition to my Logos resources!
Next. I want the ESV Bible Atlas.

For taking as long as it did to get the ESV Study Bible to Logos, I'm surprised it seems to be missing functionality I would expect to see. That's not to say I'm ungrateful, but Logos has just spoiled us with the inter-linking of material, popups/popovers, etc. in the texts.
For example, page 1790 in the ESV Study Bible has the Herodian Dynasty. The text is miniscule even on a 24" monitor running 1920x1200 (Reading View). I don't see a way to zoom into the image. I also would expect that the Scripture references in the image to contain popups of those verses. Granted, I understand this is an image; one that could be rendered easily (it seems) to allow for textural links.
Granted this is a small quibble, but it should be doable. Am I expecting too much from Logos?
Well, the ESV people didn't provide any better version of this chart on their own on-line ESV Study Bible site. I expect Logos depends on what the ESV people make available which, in this case, had rather tiny print. And, BTW, the actual print version of this chart also has similar tiny print, about the same as if you viewed the chart in Logos in a full-size single pane (though a little easier to read than on a monitor). Short of scanning the paper version at high resolution (which might not have been permissable), I can't imagine what the solution would be.

Yup, I'm guessing that's the limitation Logos is working with. The best I could manage was to copy this graphic and paste into Photoshop and run a Smart Sharpen filter on it to make the text a bit more readable (click to enlarge), but still no links or popups for Scripture references:

Thank you, Logos, for bringing us the ESV Study Bible! It is an outstanding resource--as far as I am concerned, it is the best Study Bible on the market. Hat's off to Logos!

FWIW, this same limitation also exists in the Accordance version of this resource, so this may be the best we will get, at least for awhile. [:(]

This chart could be engineered in such a way as to be more user friendly. I don't blame Logos on this, nor do I necessarily blame Crossway. It's just a thing that happens when you execute something one way, and then try to use it in a different way. But my point is, with a little money and time, if they would put their heads together, they could transform these into a bang-up interactive, usable chart.

Just think of how big the download would be, though, if all such charts were higher resolution and interactive. As it is, the Study Bible Notes are 257MB!

However, when I copy the Logos chart and paste it into my drawing program it shows up as 10.417 in x 6.958 in. When I do the same for the equivalent chart from WORDsearch it shows up as 16.667 x 11.854 -- and is much clearer. So they must have been able to do something differently.

I KNOW . . . wouldn't that be exciting????? And it wouldn't be worse than my initial 24 hour, 9 GB download of L4 last November!
Say, how do the other graphics appear: the temple, Jerusalem, etc?

Yes, from a not-very-exhaustive study (I tried one item, ziggurat) I've determined they are integrated with Logos PPT (and thus you can export them to Microsoft PPT [;)]) --

So it means ESV SB pictures are in the Biblical Things. It means we can zoom them, right? And what about maps? Do we see them in Biblical Places? I hope so.

Maybe it has been discussed already but the resolution of maps and pictures is not great (about 1200X800) which is just PowerPoint resolution. But the thing is the On-Line version of the ESV SB has about the same resolution. So it is up to the Crossway to make the pictures available in a bigger resolution.

Yes, maps are integrated, too. And you can zoom in. But if you click "Actual Size" it doesn't get a whole lot bigger than the default size. If you zoom in more from there, you're getting grainier and grainier picture. We only have so many pixels. Still, it's possible to see quite well. Here's Jericho zoomed way in:
Too bad that chart on p. 1790 that someone was complaining about how tiny its writing is doesn't appear to be in Biblical People. It's about the Herodian Dynasty. I searched on various Herods but only found this:
Bohuslav, Thomas, Dan: Have you not bought this as a pre-pub? Were you just waiting to see what others had to say about it before buying it? If so, you missed out on a great deal!

It was on pre-pub until a couple days before launch. Don't want to bore with details. But I still plan to get it. Can't say I am super excited about the graphics, though. I guess I need to temper my idealistic expectations with reality.

No, no, I got it, I have been looking forward to have it for long. (Actually I got for me, for our daughter and our son, so I paid ESV SB Notes 3 times [:(]. I also have a paper version.)
Yesterday I was in Prague all day long so I downloaded the ESV Study Bible Notes only a few hours ago. As it was indexing I tried to find maps and illustrations in Biblical Places/Things and haven't found anything, so I was happy to see your post. Now I have it up and running. Great resource. I will use it in my daily reading. [Y]

Hello Tes, no, ESV SB is just a shorter name for the ESV Study Bible. Since I use in this layout very narrow column for ESV SB notes (and NET Notes) it shows only that shorter name. Otherwise it shows full name. That is how Logos 4 does it with all the resources.

Just wanted to jump into this discussion with a question:
My card was charged Wednesday, I was notified by email that L4 would download ESV SBN; nevertheless, it's Friday and every time I enter "Update Now," I receive that message that no updates are available.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Hare you also "rebooted" Logos4. I often need to do that in order to trigger a download.
