resources included in the subscription

1Cor10 31

I have a few questions regarding the resources included in the subscription.

Will the resources be clearly marked as being rented when we use them? I don't want to be taking Notes and then lose my Notes when I stop subscribing.
Will the resources included as part of subscription be available for purchase once I stop subscribing? The reason is the one I describe above: I don't want to be losing all my Notes because I am not able to buy the resources.
If I am allowed to purchase the bundle of resources that come with the subscription, will a dynamic price be given because people with large libraries will have paid for most of these resources and Logos has always said that we will not be paying twice for the same resources.

Thank you.

These are great questions. I would think that if you do not anchor to the books in question you would not lose your notes... or if you anchored somewhere else also. Now I do wonder if you paste from a rented resource and you no longer subscribe, will those notes be automatically edited or removed because you quote something you no longer own? I would guess not... but it is worth checking.

They will appear with a temporary license in your library (as opposed to a permanent license that books you bought will show).

I don't want to be taking Notes and then lose my Notes when I stop subscribing.

Losing notes is not really a consequence of losing the license to a book. This is a common misunderstanding, but notes remain in your Logos even if you lose access to a book (or hide it). When the book "returns", the notes will be there as before. Of course, notes are much less functional without the book, but you can still read and search them.

Will the resources included as part of subscription be available for purchase once I stop subscribing?

I would by and large assume yes, but there are books vanishing from the store. Assume that most / nearly all will be.

Sure, this will be given as always (no one knows if there will be bundles, though. You might need to select them individually from the store).

They will have temporary licenses i.e. use license:temp to filter them. If many have a different date for "Last Updated" they could come from a previous subscription (Connect, Now) or Early Access. You might want to tag them based on the dates you know to be relevant.

They are available to purchase right now! You need to allow for resources being replaced/removed without notice, although I note that FL provided a list of Connect resources that would be removed when transferring to the new subscription.

If I am allowed to purchase the bundle of resources that come with the subscription, will a dynamic price be given because people with large libraries will have paid for most of these resources and Logos has always said that we will not be paying twice for the same resources.

AFAIK you purchase a bundle at the current price/discount minus 5% for being an early subscriber. I think there will be a bundle for all the subscription resources, but the concept of "paying twice" does not apply to resources which you don't own! So you will get a discount for the ones you do own.
