This what I want. When someone buys a resource (say BDAG, for instance), they should only pay the rather large price tag once. Then if they want to get that for their computer program, all they have to do is pay a small fee to get the electronic version of it. They have already paid to own a copy. And sure, somebody should be paid for getting all that data from print into electronic format. Digitizing a text takes a lot of work.

And this way no software vendor would get lock in. If someone decided they didn't like Logos, they could switch to Bibleworks, Accordance...or the anybody else.

If that were to happen, that is when I would get most of my books in electronic format. Of course making all of that work would mean the publishers and software vendors would have to work together pretty tightly. Don't know how likely that is.
