Logos Bible Software 4 Released
Monday, November 2, 2009 at 7:00AM 
Almost five years ago I made a big purchase: I bought a copy of the Logos Bible Software. "Is the largest electronic library we have ever assembled!" the promo said. It contains nearly 400 titles worth over $8,000.00 in equivalent print editions!" I wasn't sure what to think, but I got a good deal and decided to take the plunge.
The software was good, and it's improved with every version. It's become a major part of my library.
This morning, Logos is releasing Logos Bible Software 4. Bottom line: it's excellent. I've been trying out the beta version for a while. It's intuitive, flexible, easy to use, and visually engaging. I liked the previous versions, but this is a huge step forward in terms of user interface and in making the capabilities of the software more accessible.
What's more, you can now access your library on an iPhone using a free new app. I downloaded this yesterday and I'm impressed.
A Mac version of Logos 4 is also on its way. I use the current version which is okay, but nowhere close to what's being released today. It's the main reason I use Boot Camp.
I'm old school when it comes to books. I still prefer reading most books on paper. But Logos is superior when it comes to commentaries, reference books, and older books like the B.B. Warfield Collection or the Charles Spurgeon Collection. It's portable and easy to replace compared to physical books. And you can't beat the price of the pre-publication deals.
I'm definitely a fan. You should check it out. They have a variety of packages, and upgrade discounts are available for existing customers.
Update: Discount code available here.

Darryl. Does the Mac program come in the various levels? I have Accordance and it is 'bulky' for my use. B
Hi Barry,This release is dual platform, so you can purchase a package and use Windows, Mac, or both. The Mac version still needs a little work though. More information here: http://www.logos.com/mac/disclaimer
D--just checked the website--sorry to bother you with the question. b
Not a problem.
dont you find that logos is kinda slow on start up and searches?
The new version takes longer the first time because it indexes all your stuff. It's supposed to be faster after that.I haven't had a problem with the speed of Logos, except when my computer has been a slow one in general.
What about the complains made in YouTube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOOzNTP9hNI
Lorenzo:So far, my experience with the software has been entirely positive.
