Content is King
I've been having a good discussion with LJ of Trailblazin Ministries over the past many weeks about making a common format for electronic Bible readers. There are several reasons for doing this, but the best ones are highlighted by LJ in the latest post on his blog. Here is a snippet of that posting: ...But that led me to think even more, and it's something my friend Antoine and I have discussed a bit of late. It'd be great if I could use my WORDsearch library in Logos and vice versa. For me, considering all the works I have in WS, there is no logical reason why I should have to go and purchase those same works in Logos just so that I can use it in their software. For example, I love John MacArthur's New Testament Commentary series, and I have pretty much the entire set in WS, but none in Logos; I would love to use it in Logos, but why buy it for that application when I already have it in digital format elsewhere. The key point here is that I already have it in digital format; it's not like I'm trying to go from print to electronic, but from electronic to electronic on the same computer, just in different applications. It would be great if I could get the book from one company and then use it in the other's software. It's for that reason alone that WORDsearch will remain my primary application for daily use. Again, content is king...Read the rest of LJ's post and make your voice heard if you too would like to see a better emphasis on creating Biblical content that moves easily from one type of device/program to another.
