If you'd like to keep track of new free Logos titles, I've created an RSS feed. It's available here:
http://www.logos4training.com/feeds/freelogosbooks
There's also one for Vyrso books:
http://www.logos4training.com/feeds/freevyrsobooks
You can either put those URLs into your favourite feed reader, or you a service like http://www.feedmyinbox.com/ to get them emailed to you.
Thanks, Mark!
I think there is a bug with the Logos RSS feed...see the Mac post for detail.
Thanks, it's fixed now.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Mark. You are a champ. [Y] [H]
Is this feed still working? I don't think it showed me the last few free Vyrso books.

You have to be pretty quick with many of the freebies, as they don't last long. I think the last two might only have lasted 24-48 hours. This screenshot from my Google Reader shows that the feed did bring in the last few freebies though - unless there were some other books you think were missing?
Interesting: It showed up in Google Reader but not in my Outlook. Not sure why.
Could you please explain to me how I have to do it? Should I put "Logos.com on the upper place , and on the lower place my e-mail address or there is another option?

Was Outlook running at the time when the item was on sale? These last two were very brief - they came available around 12:00 GMT on 13 March, but were gone by the 14th.
The upper box should be http://www.logos4training.com/feeds/freevyrsobooks (or http://www.logos4training.com/feeds/freelogosbooks if you want free books from logos.com instead of vyrso.com).

Thanks Mark!
Very helpful. Thanks, Mark.
I forgot to say that there's also a Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/FreeVyrsoBooks
This is so cool. I have missed a few freebies as I arrived after they "expired". Now I will be able to make it on time. Thanks a ton Mark. While I'm at it, thank you also for the many great training videos that you have made available. Many of them have been a great help in my efforts with Logos 4!

Thanks MarK
Note to Rich: The Vyrso people are doing a BAD job of posting the free book for today.

Not sure if I will be en agreement with the authors, but I am going to read it just the same. [^o)]

Yes, I run Outlook every day, but I don't use Google Reader or Twitter every day. That's the reason why I wanted to use the RSS reader in Outlook. Also the newest freebe did not show up. [:(]

Unless your refresh interval is set to too long a period, it looks like there must be something wrong with your Outlook, I think. The Twitter update is generated from the RSS feed, so if it's on Twitter it's been published correctly to the RSS, and should therefore be in Outlook.

And thanks for your website. And thanks for your training videos. And thanks for your forum advice. And thanks for the bibliography tool. (All these are done so well I am beginning to think it is really God doing it all and He is just using Mark. [:O] That would also explain Mark's fine sermons.) May God continue to use him.
It looks like the last time the Free Vyrso feed was updated was September 12, 2013. Does anyone know if they stopped giving free books or if the link is broken?
The link to the Free Logos Books still works but the quantity has been reduced drastically since November.
Hi Ryan. Vyrso still gives away lots of free books, sometimes several per week.
I check this link everyday (it filters out fictional titles, which I'm not interested in, and books I already own):
https://vyrso.com/products/search?q=price%3A%5B0+TO+0%5D+-GenreGroup%3AFiction&start=0&sort=newest&pageSize=60&unlocked=no
Wow, that is a lot of books. Do you happen to know if there is an RSS feed that I can subscribe too so that I don't have to remeber to check the website?
Thankful for 652 free Vyrso eBooks since Thanksgiving 2011, including 48 this year.
Reloading a web page => https://vyrso.com/products/search?q=&start=&sort=pricelo&pageSize=15&unlocked=no also facilitates "Add to Cart" (in a new tab) followed by "Place Order"
Keep Smiling [:)]
I'll have to defer to another forum user since I don't use RSS feeds!

I've not been as diligent to keep records like you but I also and thankful for the many free Vyrso ebooks.
I maintain the free Vyrso and Logos RSS feeds. I'm afraid it broke when the Logos websites switched from http to https (i.e. when secure browsing was switched on for all pages, not just for checkout). I had some spare time today, so I've fixed it. Hopefully, soon it will start updating again in RSS readers, on Twitter and on Facebook.
Many thanks Mark, it looks like my feed reader is up and running with the Vyrso feed again. I really appreciate your help and willingness to provide this feed for us.
Blessings.
Hi Mark - I've noticed that the free Logos book RSS feed hasn't picked up the free Bonhoeffer book or a couple of other 1 day free books. Do you know if those fall under a different link or if the link is broken again?
Thanks,
Ryan
Mark, there is something wrong with the feed - all kinds of CS Lewis books that must be purchased are coming through this feed now - second day this has happened. This is just a snippet of it:
Thanks Mark
Mark, there is something wrong with the feed - all kinds of CS Lewis books that must be purchased are coming through this feed now - second day this has happened.
It's sort of Logos' fault. The feed searches the Logos website for products that have a zero price, and Logos returns the CS Lewis resources in those results, presumably because no price has been set.
If this becomes a regular problem, I'll edit the code to try and avoid this problem, but first I'll report it as a bug on the website itself.
Thank you Mark for reporting this!
Finally remembered how to do this in Outlook... Mission accomplished, & thanks!Question: Does "free" mean free? Or are many (as they looked) free ONLY if you buy...? (Question was triggered by all the C. S. Lewis posts, available in the C. S. Lewis Collection.)?EDIT: oops--see this has already been reported, answered.
Thanks again, Mark!

Is there something I can add to the feed to screen out at minimum the fiction genre?
