I suggest adding "The Voice Bible" to the Logos system.  This is a new translation of the scriptures.  Translation copyright 2012, Ecclesia Bible Society.  Published/copyright 2012 Thomas Nelson, Inc.

    But I would still like to see it available.

    I completely agree with this. The Voice Bible should be on Logos! I for one, among many others, would like to have this translation of the Scriptures here on LOGOS myself. It would be a great asset to all serious students of the Word of God!

    I agree. Please bring The Voice version to LOGOS!

    The Voice Bible is available as a Faithlife e-book.  While not a Logos version, you can at least have access to it.

    Unfortunately it's not available in Canada. [:(]  But the Kindle version is, so I don't know why Faithlife can't get the rights to make this available for Canadian users.

    The publisher HCCP simply won't allow to make any eBooks from their imprints, including Thomas Nelson and Zondervan, available to non-US customers. I hope this will change some day.

    The Voice currently is not available for buying for me either, but I managed to get a copy back in the day and it reads fabulously - Faithlife should make this bible a Logos edition (then it would be available to buy, too).

    That isn't 100% the case. I was able to buy The Voice Bible in Kindle format in Canada. I just can't buy it in Logos. I'd much rather own a Logos edition of it, for the Logos features that would enhance it.

    Sorry, maybe I should have been more precise: my sentence probably should have read "....to non-US customers through the FL eBook store." This does not necessarily apply to other eBook stores, least of all Amazon (which is a market force quite unlike all others), and this does not apply to the logos.com store of FL-produced resources. 

    Publishers have much more control over pricing and offers in the eBook store, and probably get a better margin, too, or at least this falls into their normal mode of operation. Abingdon e.g. refuse to contract anything else than eBooks (with only a few exceptions).

    HCCP wants to control pricing per market and thus would only allow FL to sell at local price lists - i.e. to me in Euros and to you in Canadian dollars. Unless FL caves in and makes their store running multi-currency and multi-prices (which I really don't see - after all it's just a side-business ), they rather forego the royalties - or trust that buyers will go for an ePub elsewhere or a kindle edition. To HCCP this doesn't matter, their royalties will flow from any vendor - thus I personally try to find eBook alternatives from nicer publishers, such as Thomas C. Cook, and rather buy a used paper copy of a Zondervan or Thomas Nelson title, to not help them along with my money cheating me out of the books I want to read in Logos.

    The Voice Bible should be a Logos edition, period.

    Agreed. It's a Bible, so it should be tagged to be able to function like a Bible, not just an eBook.

    Are you also implying that HCCP would allow FL to sell it as a Logos edition to customers outside the US, just not as an eBook? That would sure be nice.
