As far as I can tell, the libraries are interchangeable, so any resources you have show up in either version of the software, apps, and Biblia.com. |
One nice thing that Logos and Verbum started the last couple of years or so, is to offer the customer an additional book to the free one. The book is not free, but it is always a fantastic bargain--most (maybe all of them that I have seen) are 99 cents or $1.99. Not as good a deal as getting the first one free, of course, but they are still always fantastic bargains in themselves. In case I didn't imply it strongly enough, you have to accept the free one in order to get the super-cheap one. But that shouldn't bother anyone. You cannot go to the regular Logos catalog and purchase just the second book at the 99 cent or $1.99 price, even during the promotion. Not by a long shot.
And, BTW, I've found very few clunkers among either the freebies or the second book, the one that is not free but that you can get at an enormous discount. They are usually recent books, written by highly-qualified authors.
And you don't have to make a note on the calendar to check Logos or Verbum to see what the newest offer(s) are. If you are on their mailing list, they will let you know at least twice (and I think even more often than that) during the month, via email, about that month's offer.
Diffulgia's post has again made me wish that there was a dedicated forum, or at least thread, for Bible software, particularly for the book deals. Like Diffulgia, i run across them all of the time, but I hesitate to mention them in the Bargains forum, and it doesn't seem like there's a more suitable forum on MobileRead for this kind of thing. But, as we've discussed most, if not all, of the major Bible software companies, offer tablet, smartphone, etc. apps now where you can read the books in your software's library. So, how is this different from what gets posted all of the time on MobileRead?
