Bible Request: The Voice Bible
I suggest adding "The Voice Bible" to the Logos system. This is a new translation of the scriptures. Translation copyright 2012, Ecclesia Bible Society. Published/copyright 2012 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Asked for before:

But I would still like to see it available.

I completely agree with this. The Voice Bible should be on Logos! I for one, among many others, would like to have this translation of the Scriptures here on LOGOS myself. It would be a great asset to all serious students of the Word of God!

I agree. Please bring The Voice version to LOGOS!

The Voice Bible is available as a Faithlife e-book. While not a Logos version, you can at least have access to it.

Unfortunately it's not available in Canada. [:(] But the Kindle version is, so I don't know why Faithlife can't get the rights to make this available for Canadian users.

I hope this will change some day.
The Voice currently is not available for buying for me either, but I managed to get a copy back in the day and it reads fabulously - Faithlife should make this bible a Logos edition (then it would be available to buy, too).
Have joy in the Lord!

That isn't 100% the case. I was able to buy The Voice Bible in Kindle format in Canada. I just can't buy it in Logos. I'd much rather own a Logos edition of it, for the Logos features that would enhance it.

Sorry, maybe I should have been more precise: my sentence probably should have read "....to non-US customers through the FL eBook store." This does not necessarily apply to other eBook stores, least of all Amazon (which is a market force quite unlike all others), and this does not apply to the logos.com store of FL-produced resources.
Publishers have much more control over pricing and offers in the eBook store, and probably get a better margin, too, or at least this falls into their normal mode of operation. Abingdon e.g. refuse to contract anything else than eBooks (with only a few exceptions).
HCCP wants to control pricing per market and thus would only allow FL to sell at local price lists - i.e. to me in Euros and to you in Canadian dollars. Unless FL caves in and makes their store running multi-currency and multi-prices (which I really don't see - after all it's just a side-business ), they rather forego the royalties - or trust that buyers will go for an ePub elsewhere or a kindle edition. To HCCP this doesn't matter, their royalties will flow from any vendor - thus I personally try to find eBook alternatives from nicer publishers, such as Thomas C. Cook, and rather buy a used paper copy of a Zondervan or Thomas Nelson title, to not help them along with my money cheating me out of the books I want to read in Logos.
The Voice Bible should be a Logos edition, period.
Have joy in the Lord!

Agreed. It's a Bible, so it should be tagged to be able to function like a Bible, not just an eBook.
Are you also implying that HCCP would allow FL to sell it as a Logos edition to customers outside the US, just not as an eBook? That would sure be nice.
