I thought it was a solid system over all. I would recommend the serious student of the Bible to first check out e-Sword (www.e-sword.net) as it is free and offers so many options. You have to pay for certain translations, but you get the ESV for free, so it's not all bad. Plus I can get John Gill's commentary, which I haven't found elsewhere (that I know of). Also, if you use the "Westcott-Hort Greek NT with Strong's" module, it has the text parsed for you. While there is nothing wrong with paying for software, why do so if you don't have to? I don't even use any paid systems any more after seeing this. I use this almost exclusively for my sermon prep every single week. I highly recommend it as a good alternative to Logos, PC Study Bible and all the other ones. Just my two cents worth. ;) I have used Logos in the distant past on editions that no longer work with my computer. I thought it was a solid system over all.

I first discovered Logos in my first year of seminary. I used it through four years of seminary and now for over two years in full-time pastoral ministry. It's a powerful tool and an incredible time-saver. I use it literally every day. For me, the real strength of Logos has been the reference books, i.e. books you don't normally read from cover to cover, but are looking for fast and pertinent information on a given subject. Digital books like lexicons, grammars, dictionaries, encyclopedias, theologies, seminary journals, study bibles, and commentaries have been invaluable in my ministry. One other really nice feature of Logos is that once you buy a base package, you can incrementally grow your digital library from year to year.
