I’ve been a user of logos software since mid-90s. Initially I dislike the features as I find it rather cumbersome to meander (maybe it’s because I am not that patient nor tech savvy). Ever since libronix came on board the entire setup has been fantastic. The books that I used to own but hardly access suddenly became readily available.Having tweaked some features for personal preference, I found that it was seamless in its ability to link different books and resources and present it as one package during searches. This is helpful for pastors who just want to read and study. Of course when TJLCD was introduced, it helped boost the usage of logos.
I wished Logos would load up and then move quickly. Being owner of Bible works 7.0 I still find it a winner in terms of rate of accessing information. Speed is definitely on the side of BW. Logos’ strength is on its library of various books that are readily available. This would serve missionaries well seeing these literature could cost a huge bomb to ship to other parts of the earth. So what would I recommend? Both Logos and BW if one can afford it. Otherwise I would go for logos for its vast libraries; BW if I want to do exegesis extensively. otherwise, logos also has sufficient software and diagraming tools to help do the work. Again the speed is critical issue. I wonder why Logos doesn’t go into 32 bit or 64 bit mode of operation?
