Less than one week remains before Logos Bible Software releases the Tyndale Commentaries, a 49-volume series that covers the OT and NT. The pre-pub price is $179.95, which is about $3.67 per volume, and it will go up after the product ships.
I own print copies of all the NT volumes and several OT volumes, but I’m planning to get the Logos version because using Libronix is far more efficient than using print books. I’ve argued this in some previous reviews:

discounts on new base package purchases and upgrades for
Logos 4 through the end of the month.
My favorite Bible software just got better: Logos Bible Software 4.0 launches today!
If you already use the Libronix Digital Library System, then you’ve probably been using Logos 3. How does Logos 4 improve Logos 3? To name just three …
- It syncs with iPhones. If you use a Logos 4 base package (Windows or Mac), you can access most of the your books on your iPhone at no additional charge.
- It’s more efficient. It’s more intuitive; it’s much faster (as in Google-search fast); and it can accommodate multiple monitors.
- It’s better looking. Here’s a sample screen shot (click to enlarge):

Note: There’s one notable hitch in the transition from Logos 3 to Logos 4. If you’ve marked up your books in Logos 3 (e.g., adding notes or highlighting), then those markings will not transfer to Logos 4 right away. But Bob Pritchett, President of Logos Bible Software, assured me last week that markings will transfer from Logos 3 to Logos 4 in about two weeks. New markings in Logos 4 will integrate with old markings in Logos 3. (Logos 3 and Logos 4 can run side by side without any issues.)
I highlighted the Charles Spurgeon Collection (86 vols.) by Logos Bible Software back in January when it appeared on pre-pub.
It’s now available.
Invaluable.
Read the announcement at Logos Bible Software’s blog and rejoice.
I’ve been waiting for this for years! Kudos to Logos and Eerdmans for working this out.
Phil Gons just announced that he is now working for the makers of Logos Bible Software! (He also writes, “Some of you may want to check out the Logos resources that I’m selling.”)

One of the finest reading habits to cultivate is to look up words that you encounter along the way if you are unfamiliar with them.
Problem: In some circumstances following this ideal advice is unrealistic, especially if a dictionary is not conveniently at your disposal.
Solution: This is yet another reason that I prefer reading e-books with the Libronix Digital Library System, launched and owned by Logos Bible Software. (See my related post on Logos’ Scholar’s Library: Gold.) When I encounter an unfamiliar word, I simply right-click on it and instantly locate it in the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.
