The best (only?) complete set of books on the Greek Pentateuch is now up on Pre-Pub through Logos Bible Software: John William Wevers’s Notes on the Greek Text.

Logos 6 looks good and offers some innovative, interactive tools for Bible study. There are a lot of upgrade options. The upgrade process has not been as clear as it could be.
