Why so expensive? Laboring in the Harvest is on Amazon for $7.25
Logos resources are "value added," but you knew that already. [;)]
For clarification: Amazon does NOT sell an electronic copy of this resource.
As my Mother would have answered: "To make you ask questions." or as my brother would have answered "just 'cuz."
As you know there is more value in a Logos title, than in an amazon title. I prefer to keep everything together in one software, but if you don't care about the linking, and other things logos brings to the table, then by all means jump on the amazon price.But if you prefer to have it in logos, then I'd probably wait for a sale. If you need it now, then you just have to bite the bullet.Not sure when your birthday is, but if your faithlife profile is filled out, and you have personalized offers turned on, then you get a 20$ credit for your birthday... Mine is coming up, and I fully intend to spend the credit towards upgrading one of my base packages. Perhaps Reformed Portfolio.
Logos resources are "value added,"
The real question is, 'is there that much value added?'
For me, excepting bible texts, commentaries, and a smattering of journals and theologies, the answer is 'no'. That's why I don't buy resources like the aforementioned in Logos unless they are in the free-to-two-bucks range.
I've heard forum-ites rave about searchability, etc., for years, but in the many, many, many searches I've done, I've basically never had a hit on any of these kinds of resources. So it makes no sense to pay triple the price for what is essentially an ebook that I can read on my Kindle for that much less.
Roll yer dice, move yer mice. YMMV.

That is debatable depending on the title.
See my previous post.
The rest of what you said makes perfect sense.
Maybe it's more in Logos exactly because there is no Amazon version to compete with.
It is sold in electronic format elsewhere.

For someone who sees so little value in Logos, you spend a lot of time on the forums :P Glad you do. But I'm awfully amused by that point right now. Which base package do you have?
I see the value that is, rather than the value that FL marketing tells me I should see. Just because I'm not a fanboy doesn't mean I can't try to help other users. (Actually, if you look at some of my forum posts when I first started, I WAS a fanboy. But I repented.)
I couldn't tell you which base packages I have. I started with Platinum before all the specialty packages. I have Reformed something or another now. Why do you want to know? (If it is important, I'll go look it up.)
I do know that if I ever spend more per year on Logos than I am putting in the plate at church, I should be anathema.
You know Doc B., I'd never heard the term "fanboy" until I saw it on the forums. I would prefer that I had never encountered it and a number of other loaded terms. However, I do want to come to your defense. You did not say that you did not see the value of Logos tagging. You said something to the effect that you did not see its value in "resources like this". While I am unfamiliar with the particular resource that started this thread, I would agree that there are a number of resources for which the Logos tagging is not of sufficient value to justify the additional cost for a number of uses and users. It depends on how one will user the resource, the importance of linkage in reading/understanding the resource, how much one values minimizing the number of formats you have books in, your budget ....
I fully agree with Doc B and MJ. Smith here.
Of course there is a lot of "added value" in bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, journals, but not at all in devotionals, sermons, illustrations, etc.
I´m not familiar with the resource mentioned in the beginning, so I really can´t say if there "added value" in this one, but as a general statement I completely disagree.
Blessings,
but not at all in devotionals, sermons, illustrations, etc
I suggest there is value added in the tagging provided for sermons, illustrations etc - in that it makes it easier to identify resources that relate to a particular passage being studied. And it also makes it easier to search within particular sermons. Mark demonstrates this at https://community.logos.com/forums/p/102224/707089.aspx#707089

Agreed. Thanks for the link back to Mark's illustrations on how to search sermons.

Yep, that's what I said. You said it better, though. [;)]
For those who took it personally, I also (thought) I qualified it as my own approach/opinion. Some may have missed that 'YMMV'.
