I think that's non-Logos 10 (Full Feature). Logos 10'ers get a break ... from the CEO video. But guessing. And laughing.

Perhaps it could be for those who don't own books and Features set of Logos 10.

Which, presumably, Logos9'ers (and earlier) must double-pay for their owned features. Dynamic subscribing is going to be unavoidable.

Is it necessary to use emotive words - silly, laugh at, stupid and ridiculous comparisons.
Disagree if you like. Raise issues. Point out problems. But avoid the cynicism and ridicule of the world.
I have megabucks invested in Logos. I at times get concerned. But resorting to childish comparisons is just that - childish. Trying to run a business while trying to meet customers needs as well as seeking to be fair (especially in a Christian environment) is hard. At least we can show a little respect, even if we at times disagree or are concerned.
I know I will be attacked, but I get really tired of reading some of the attitudes that show up on this forum.

At a different level, it appears that Pro preachers don't need sermon prep (unless you look at the bottom line).

Let's see if you remain consistent with this thought when those who bring up issues have childish names, ridicule or cynicism cast towards them....

Welll.... I always thought Christians were people that were kind.... but then maybe my thinking was in the "clouds"? [8-|]

I just finished reading the Kindle sample on the book Rosie suggested today. I'd say the kind-pony left the Christian barn, a decade ago.

I think you were right, we're supposed to be kind.

Yup, according to MD and his ilk, being kind is for p***ies who follow a weak, limp-wristed Jesus. Too bad they didn't read about the Fruit of the Spirit which includes love, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, gentleness, and self-control (and two others that aren't as much about how we relate to others).

And to think by coincidence I was reading the review of this book:[quote]
In his book, Atheism, Morality, and Meaning, philosopher Michael Martin argues that a number of biblical passages reflect negatively on the character and moral teachings of Jesus.

This is by design. When there are only 2 prices - one for those who have L10 and one for others - it is clear that both (i) people who are new and (ii) people have upgraded till L9 but not L10 have to pay 2 years subscription to get L10 features permanently. So this is a good deal for newbies but not people who have upgraded some but not all. I think by offering only 2 price points, they are effectively getting everybody to upgrade to L10 one way or another.
I believe in a Win-Win-Win God.

So, to summarize what we're saying.
- You won’t lose your existing feature sets when we move to subscription. (That wasn't stated explicitly in the video, but we've been very clear about it in several places, especially here.)
- Every subscriber will receive the following perks:
- A 5% storewide discount <edit>on as many books as we can</edit>
- An additional free book of the month (of similar quality to the existing FBOTM).
- Pro and Max subscribers will also receive:
- A 5% annual rewards coupon (so, e.g., for every $100 you spend, you'll receive $5 credit at the end of the year).
- Logos 10 owners who subscribe for 24 months will also receive:
- A Legacy Fallback License which you qualify for after 24 months. This will allow you to keep non-AI/Cloud features even if you subsequently cancel your subscription.
If I understand Mark correctly, it is only Logos 10 owners who are eligible for the Fallback License. If indeed this is correct, I draw two conclusions:
1) Anyone who owns any feature set at all is best off upgrading to L10 with dynamic pricing. This is very likely to save money in the long run.
2) While I am quite content with the pricing for L10 owners (minus the problem of not having the option to opt-out of book rentals), I think they have overpriced the packages for those who do not own L10. Paying $700 over two years while acquiring ownership of NO features is a very hard pill to swallow. I don't think too many will try.

Hopefully that is Mark responding to the audience in the Forums, as I would agree with you - that would be a "deal" I would never buy.... Throwing $700 down on the table and leaving without any features to use.... Not a good deal if I were a potential new customer....
Also agree with you not being able to opt out of the books at this time (hopefully that will be an option at some point, since they say they are listening), but also in this realm, the FBOTM aspect.... Adding a second of similar quality could have no value for those with large libraries, while a pool of similar quality books to choose from would be the better option from a user perspective. That would increase the odds of actually adding new books, rather than just having it as a "perk" that adds little or no value for the large library user.

I don't care much about the FBOTM for that reason. Having a pool of books to choose from would be awesome, but I think it unlikely. Some of the books they include are very high quality books, and I don't think publishers would be on board with Logos having them available for free perpetually. I do love the idea though. Perhaps if they included a pool of books as an alternative to the FBOTM for those who don't want it or already have it. That would be pretty sweet.

I have way more than I ever even dreamt I'd have put into this thing. I purchased
Logos 3 at a "discount", and pretty much have regretted it ever since. I keep putting more money into it, HOPING that something other than my wallet and me breaking.
I wonder, if Jesus walked through the halls at this company, would he be pleased or, would he beat the money-changers, calling it a den of thieves. As many have pointed out endlessly, "They are a business first, and ministry second". Or, maybe more accurate, :"a business, period" I really do try not to judge them harshly. But (and you know that the word "but" means, "forget everything said prior") it is very hard not to. YES, a workman is worth their hire. At the same time, it's not their work. It is God's word, God wrote it, and he gave it to us freely. That being said, it does cost to bring it to us, and they do labor to bring it to us, therefore, they should be paid to bring it to us. And, yes, they should be profitable, and even blessed. Yet, at the same time, have they crossed a line that has God cringing? I'm afraid the answer to that is a very disturbing yes.
I hope I'm wrong.Danny Parker said:Is it necessary to use emotive words - silly, laugh at, stupid and ridiculous comparisons.

My demonstration Logos account (order total of $0.00) shows dynamic price of $785.07 for Logos 10 Full Feature Upgrade so Logos Max subscription of $349.99 per year for two years is less expensive than purchasing Full Feature upgrade and resources.
Please elaborate what pricing makes sense from your perspective.
Logos Max subscription for my purchased account shows $129.99 per year (Logos 10 owner).
FWIW: annoying for me is being unable to scroll down on https://www.logos.com/early-access web page (using Opera browser) due to animated gifs causing page location to automatically reset.
Keep Smiling [:)]
