The Digital Loeb Classical Library has now been officially released! It is available for individual and institutional subscriptions (see intro video here). Individual subscriptions are $195 for the first year and $65 for subsequent consecutive years. This is a bit steep, I know, but I feel it is worth it. How many times have you been in the middle of research and needed a critical Greek or Latin text of a classical author? I have been there many, many times and it is a frustrating experience. We need our Loebs! Now, we have them at the tips of our fingers. It is great to see that the LCL has now gone digital. I hope to post here in future a review of the platform and overall user experience. In the meantime, you can subscribe here.

Gregory Crane has an interesting essay that is not quite as enthusiastic about the digital Loebs: http://sites.tufts.edu/perseusupdates/2014/09/22/the-digital-loeb-classical-library-a-view-from-europe/
