Libronix for Mac
Len on Mar 25th 2008
The folks over at Logos Research Systems recently released an alpha version of the forthcoming Libronix Digital Library for Mac. This is literally the one program I was sad to lose when I made the switch to Mac over a year ago. (I had Parallels, but didn’t use it much.)
Since that time, I literally lost my Logos discs off the back of a truck, during our move from the last apartment we were in to the one we currently occupy. I didn’t have much of a collection; certainly not the Scholars Edition or anything cool like that, but I was sad to see it go.
However, I do still have the free ESV CD that came as an offer with one of my ESV print editions. So, I installed the Alpha, got my licenses plugged into it, and copied the resources over.
I now have a (surprisingly reliable) copy of Libronix running on my Mac with the ESV and KJV, Matthew Henry’s Commentary, and a number of other resources. Sweet!

Accordance!
I knew someone would say that, but nobody likes Accordance.
No, but seriously, my issue was that I didn’t want to pay for a new software and licenses for things I already had in a (non-compatible) digital format.
I anticipated purchasing Accordance when I start seminary and have need for more tools than I currently have. I may still, if I think Accordance is better than Libronix when all that comes to a head and I need to make a decisive choice.
So, can one take the Mac Logos Alpha release and just the ESV CD-ROM and create a working system? If so, care to share any other particular details about it? And are they any free libronix format resources out there?
