After nearly 20 years as a Logos/Faithlife customer, I've found them to be an honorable, no-hassle company at every turn. If a reader is on the fence about this resource, I'd recommend talking to a Logos/Noet sales representative and trying it on a 30-day money-back guarantee.
While I'd certainly be interested in any future updates that more closely approach the comprehensiveness of the hardcopy edition, I'm not disappointed with this product. When I originally ordered this resource, I was influenced by Britannica's reputation for comprehensive depth as well as my desire for a reliable encyclopedia that integrates fully within the Logos/Noet core engine and library.
That's what I expect a good encyclopedia to do. As for textual content, all the articles I have consulted so far have been sufficient to orient me within a subject so that I can more intelligently approach primary sources. I don't have a basis for assessing the extent to which this edition is abridged (nor did I have any expectation of an unabridged set at this price), but I can say that I'm very pleased with the broad range of articles in this edition and the excellent graphics it contains (comparable to no other resource in my Logos library). Having ordered this on pre-pub when it was originally announced and receiving the Compton's Encyclopedia along the way, I was delighted today when I finally got a chance to peruse the Britannica Noet edition. With all due respect to other reviewers, I'm actually very happy with this purchase.

As a general reference text or a work of history, the Encyclopedia Britannica remains highly valuable for people of all ages, in all fields. The three New Volumes, added in 1922, provided perspectives on events before, during, and after World War I. It included more articles than any previous edition, but kept them simple and concise. The 11th edition was recognized particularly for its scholarship and quality of writing, and it is still praised for its excellence and landmark literary style. For over 240 years, Encyclopedia Britannica has achieved its goals of serving as an excellent reference book and providing educational materials-because of this, it has remained one of the most well-respected and scholarly English encyclopedias. The 32 volumes cover geography, biography, biology, medicine, literature, religion, philosophy, art, law, and more. Four thousand contributors-including 110 Nobel Prize winners and five US presidents-have written on half a million topics. 
Since 1768, the Encyclopedia Britannica has set the standard for general reference works.
