If I'm to read a work like this I don't want to do it on a computer or tablet- I like the book. In addition, I don't need it in Logos where the search function is my primary use.
Just my thoughts

I know that the college I attended back when computers used punched cards, has found that its students want all their textbooks in two forms - dead tree for studying, electronic for taking to class. So for the Noet crowd, it seems like an appropriate addition.

As an English teacher, I think it is a great idea, but that is another reason why they need to get Noet fully functional so that the line between some of these types of resources can be better delineated. I don't understand why the Noet site is not ready yet, as it seems that it would be no different than the Logos or Vyrso sites to implement.

That is completely understandable. However..... Some of us are visually impaired and can only read on a computer or tablet. I know I could read it outside of Logos but I am locked in at the Community Pricing of $25 and Poe is my favourite American author. It is worth the price for the convenience.
wishful thinking: Now if only Logos would get Daphne du Maurier.

I would not think of buying the Poe collection at the present pre-pub price never mind what it will be in a few days, I'd go to the library first. But at CP price I'm delighted to have it. Btw there are 3 Poe short stories in Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction vol. 10: American Fiction and 50 pages about Poe in American Poets and Their Theology

That is a situation I had not considered and sheds new light on these type of resources.

But I do. I love books, and collect them. But for reading, to my surprise, I prefer reading on my tablet. I read better, can adjust the text size, and enjoy it more on my tablet.
But on the other hand, I cannot imagine why I would pay $99 for a set of Edgar Allen Poe when it available for a dollar or two in another format. Commentaries, Bible Dictionaries, etc. sure I will pay more to have in Logos format. But Edgar Allen Poet? Not worth the difference for me.

Thanks. That answers my question. Still, that is 25 times the other format price. Too much if I only want to read them.
The Logos edition is obviously for study, not pleasure reading.
And new customers will still face the $99 in the future.

I suppose. But I, for one, do not wish to see "Tell Tale Heart" in my sermon starter results.Michael Childs said:The Logos edition is obviously for study, not pleasure reading.
TRUE!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been
and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease
had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them.
Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in
the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell.
How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how
healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole story0
