I would assume that their still is a copyright problem. I own the NIV
electronic edition for my Palm, PocketPC, and Logos systems, all of
which I had to pay for. I also own about 250 other electronic texts in
the Logos system but it is illegal for me to export and use that text
elsewhere. Zondervan licensed the text to be use in Logos, or
Zondervan's Study Bible, not Sword. Real bummer the way it works.
