We should get a 30% discount on our first order. Not sure that is calculating or if there is code we need to enter. You can include several packages in your first order, so take your time to get the 30% applied to all packages you purchase in your first order.
Does anyone have a link for denominational package?
New Libraries include some stuff from Sword of the Lord!
They said they are launching them later in 2025
They will not be available until some time later.
Website is so saturated that it won’t load. I’ll try again later 👌

I am going to ask a stupid question. Why are we repurchasing books we have already purchaed?
Are you referring to the books included directly with the various subscription tiers? If so, I agree that it would be great to have a "no library" option. If you are referring to something else, my immediate thought is that there is a misunderstanding somewhere. Dynamic pricing should ensure one does not pay for the same book twice.
Did you mean why are we subscribing to books we already own?
Know man knoweth that I know of.

Here is a stupid answer. We are not repurchasing the books we have purchased; we are renting the books we have purchased. However, if we ever cancel our subscription, we own the books we are renting, I guess that's the upside.

The reason is that Logos, the master of dynamic pricing, won't apply dynamic pricing to subscription based on books we already own. Logos keeps saying that it won't charge us again for the books we own, but by not offering dynamic pricing, it is effectively doing that.

With the subscription model, it appears you are paying solely for the software, regardless of whether you do or do not own the included books. In effect, the books are a lagniappe; you are neither being cheated nor double-charged.

We are certainly being double charged, as Logos must inevitably pass on the expense to customers. This expense may indeed be relatively small, as many of the books are self-published or public domain. But to say there is no expense is not accurate.

This has always been true for free books - under Now, Connect, books free in apps, monthly freebies... The question is whether the books are free perks of the subscription as Logos presents them or an integral part of the subscription for which you pay.

To be clear, I don't feel unsettled in the least by the reality that I own most of the books and yet pay the same amount as someone who does not. However, this is simply a matter of terminology. Every "free" perk must also be carefully considered and priced into the total cost of the subscription. In this sense, the only perks that are truly free are those that incur no expense.

I may be incorrect but I think the terminology has legal consequences.
