I have BibleWorks with just two modules: HALOT and BDAG. I'm not one who's against technology, don't get me wrong. I just decided that was a wise decision for me. The important exegetical works that I need to have searchable I've got with BWs. All the rest are on my shelves. I don't mind getting out of my chair and looking up something in TDNT, in a commentary, Bible dictionary, atlas, whatever. What attracts me to Logos (I don't have it, btw) is the possibility of having all my library in one easy and accessible place (sometimes even with pleasant discounts to get large sets of volumes). But in my mind, the cons outweigh the pros. So I've stuck primarily to hardcopies, and I've even gotten some of my books at decent prices from friends converting to digital libraries! (Not to mention I like my eyeballs )

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46
