somewhat off topic, and yet somewhat on topic
Here is an article that I read about Apple, marketing, and their products. I personally see a lot of similarities between Apple and Logos as it relates to marketing and the snafu's with some of their product as of late. I do think the article is a little over the top, but it is something that needs to be thought about IMHO.

I do not see this at all......i am just a basic user and have had great experiences with logos product. I do not see snafu's in product produced that I don't see with standard paper product especially for a "first" edition. Really, this is all logos has.......first editions. I do think some of the work flow might be changed but that is up to the top brass at logos and not us (users).

Tom, seriously I am not sure what you are trying to achieve with your post? I have read some of your post which have been helpful, some critical of Logos and some just way out.
Surely Logos deserve a break![:P] No offence intended.

I don't know how this is relative to Logos. Bob Pritchett has never made a $30 billion mistake and he has no shareholders or board to impress.tom collinge said:but it is something that needs to be thought about IMHO.

I'm not that uncomfortable with Tom's thread because it's a point that is also specific to eBook companies (as well as the iPhone/iPad).
Many companies (and/or its suppliers) purposely lock in customers through the software. That in itself isn't particularly bad; it can make for a good user experience.
Next, some companies (quite a few) begin taking short cuts, knowing full well that the customer is locked-in (or will have a sizable walk-away cost).
And it's this last point why I'll probably let Logos4 be my final Logos version, with Libronix being the long-term solution. I don't like the constant half-cooked product features that will not be fixed for years (as examples, the mapping, the library, the search, the notes, and of course terrible efficiency). Logos knows the bulk of users will stick around and thus it need not do significant feature completion.
Apple, on the other hand, has a little more pressure from both customers and stockholders.
