Read the comments for the Nisus Writer Pro app entry at AppleVis to find out about the differences between Nisus Writer Express and Nisus Writer Pro: http://www.applevis.com/apps/mac/productivity/nisus-writer-pro Basically, you should get the Pro version if you want to use this to transfer your documents to people who want to read your compositions in MicroSoft Word format, since only the Pro version exports to .docx format (though both version can import .docx formats). The Pro version also supports advanced features like table of contents creation, cross-referencing, ePub creation, etc. There are download links for the 15-day free trials of both versions at the AppleVis site, so you can compare them for yourself. If you only want to use the Nisus Writer app for reading PDFs in place of Preview, and don't require the word-processing features mentioned above, the Express version will work for you. Although there is an upgrade route from Express to Pro, it costs more than a direct purchase of the Pro version,
Note that the developer offers substantial discounts for academic licenses if you purchase the app directly from their web site -- it's about $39 for the Pro version if you use an email address with a recognized ".edu" or equivalent educational domain for your purchase, or offer them other proof you are a registered student or educator: http://nisus.com/pro/buyMore.php Finally, as David mentioned, the MacUpdate site occasionally offers this (and other) Mac apps for discounted purchase from the developer from time to time. The discount is usually only for a day or a weekend, unless it is part of an app bundle purchase that might be on sale for a couple of weeks, and the discounted price is not available for purchases made through the Mac App Store over the same period. However, creating a MacUpdate account for buying discounted apps requires a one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA.
