    $24 for a book which is $20 in print is unreasonable? Why? When you purchase a print book, you get no updates or added features. When you purchase a book from FL, they have to maintain that resource indefinitely.

    Your print book gets burned and the bookstore won't replace it for free; you'd have to repurchase it at full price. 

    On the other hand, your laptop or mobile device gets worn out, burned or whatever, all you have to do is buy a new one to re-download your Logos books again without having to pay for them again.

    Your highlight went wrong and makes your print book look messy, that's it, messy it will be until it fades.  With Logos books all  you have to do is erase the highlight and redo it again and in a different color if  you didn't like the first color.

    Your print book gets infested with book mites and over time the pages will get yellowish/brownish color and eventually fall apart; while with Logos books, you don't have to worry about that.

    Your print book...LOL...you get the point!

    I do agree some products are over priced, but not all.  Eventually, everything evens out.

    Also, Logos resources have tagging added to them so that links to your Bible and resources you have in your library open when you click them. With your print books, you have to pick up your Bible and look at the reference or take a volume down off of your bookshelf, manually look up the page number referenced, and look for the quote.

    Your print book will be found by archaeologists where your wife buried it, so you'd fix the disposal.

    The digital book is 'gone' unless you keep kicking in another grand every 5-10 years.

    That is only because we cant resist just buying one more book or paying for a few more facilities each time Logoos is updated. [8-|]
