Do you use any other software besides Logos?

I say Logos should be the pioneer to be first to have a build in Mobi & Epub converter.. (pdf is bad)

I was given a link to Wordsearch Bible and thought it looked pretty neat. Haven't download it yet.. 

I'm just curious, do you use any other "bible" software? 

Accordance and BibleWorks

Wordsearch and Bibleworks

I had been using all kind of Bible software years ago (QuickVerse, Theophilos, Davar, eSword, WordSearch etc.) Since Logos 4 and full functional PB Bibles (that was not the case of Libronix PBB Bibles) I use just Logos on various platforms. Occasionally I buy a book on Kindle if not available in Logos/Vyrso.

I use Logos for most things. I wouldn't be using this much if there wouldn't be good chances to return items. If a book is not in Logos/Vyrso I either don't buy it, or buy it as printed matter. Several of my Bibles are duplicated in Logos and as printed matter. Usually I buy only the New Testament.
I don't have the L5 Minimal Crossgrade nor do I wish I would have bought it when the price was lower.
My areas of interest are things like NT-studies, especially Paul, languages (Gk, a little bit of Latin - a dictionary was included in the Original Languages Library), encyclopedic and dictionary information, Church history, "Gnosticism". I also have my commentaries in Logos.

Yesterday I got home a book about Paul. It's in Logos too, but was cheap as printed matter.

Sometimes I'm also comparing different Bible versions and read about issues, especially in the NT and Isaiah, later on also in Sirach. I try to do this in Logos but I have good possibilities to do it with printed matter too, I'll note an exception:

As far as I know I can't study "Gnosticism" in Logos. I'll see if there's anything in: Oxford History of the Christian Church (16 vols.).

When it comes to Bible dictionaries I have been waiting for some time for the New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible to arrive by postal mail. Praying that it will arrive from Cokesbury!

I have extremely few systematic theologies, I think I have just 1½ as printed matter and none in Logos (not sure if any was included in the L5 base-package). I use the ones I have but will most probably never be buying any additional ones!

I don't use plain ordinary commentaries all the time and I don't afford owning one on every book of the Bible. I have Hermeneia/Continental. And a couple of ICC volumes of which one is in Logos (the other is on Is 44:24-55:13 as printed matter, bought on January 2. 2013). These I don't classify as plain ordinary, Hermeneia for example contains more history of interpretation and ICC has more of the original languages than most other commentaries.

Except Hermeneia, I do most of my NT textual work outside Logos: with resources such as the Comprehensive Bible/New Testament and comparing printed NT versions to see if there is a consensus, at the same time when I work through other issues and the English.

The other Bible Study software I have is Accordance 10. I'm a Windows 7 64-bit user. I have UBS Handbooks New Testament in it - got it cheap used, plus Revised English Bible (which I have also in Logos and the Apocrypha and a NT as printed matter too), Comprehensive Crossreferences Bible 2011 Edition (can be used for textual work in the NT, I have the NT as printed matter too 2008 Edition), New English Translation of the Septuagint (have as printed matter too), and the Syntax-module (for the Gk NT). The latter two are not available in Logos.

But I haven't bought the Greek New Testament in Accordance yet. I'll study a bit before I buy it. I'll be doing Syntax-searches and some of the Gk studies in the General Epistles in Accordance NA28 and whatever other part of the NT that has been revised in NA29. But I have all my Gk tools in Logos and won't try to duplicate them in Accordance (a couple of them are missing in the Accordance store: LSJ 1996 Supplement, Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament (3 vols.) come to mind).

There were Accordance seminars here in Sweden in April 2013, and I went to Gothenburg to attend it. It was really fun. Bought a manual there which is only being sold at the Accordance seminars. When it comes to Logos instruction material I have a pre-pub order for:

I didn't know Logos had quite a bit on gnosis:

I'd give decent odds that Logos has the gnostic-ers market hands down.

Don't forget http://www.logos.com/product/34030/a-history-of-the-christian-church for $6 closing Friday next.

As far as I am aware Logos  [although now working with Zondervan] still does NOT have the NIV Study notes.

Therefore I still use a [now extinct] copy of "Pradis" in order to access those NIV Study notes on my computer.

Do you return a lot of items?     [6]

I typically find myself reading almost the whole book, and finally concluding on the final page, it was all a big mistake and a refund is in order.[6]

I wonder if Mother Logos monitors that? (Most of my refunds occur when Logos prints the receipt; no L3 version.)
