Subscriber Free Monthly Book

So the free monthly book that is offered to everyone I understand and have no issues with that being what it is picked by Logos.

The Subscriber book on the other hand I believe should be like it has been in other iterations with Logos Now where it is at least from a pool of books. It is a benefit that is being paid for, but us with larger libraries the benefit is a zero net gain as every offering (At least 95%) I already own. Especially at the Max Level, there should be (or should I say appreciated) an alternative. Even a for value credit to apply to another un-owned book that month would be welcome.

Value credit. I like that.

This has been brought up before. I'm always pretty happy when I see the free book or subscriber book is one I don't own yet- but that is going to happen after you've been a Logos user for sometime, especially if you have a larger library.

The subscriber free book is considered a paid perk so there should be something available for subscribers who already own it. The simplest way I think would be to simply have a rotating selection of books, and subscribers get to pick 1 of them - similar to back when Faithlife Plus subscribers could pick 3 e-books.

One way would be to have say 1 or 2 dozen possible books available to choose from. Each month a portion of them cycle out and new ones come in, and subscribers get a coupon code that will allow them to get one book free each month (and you also get a glimpse of what you might want to get next month).

I'm sure there will be occasions when someone owns all of those, but it should certainly help. Alternatively, in the (assumably very rare) case that someone owns all of the possible books, perhaps they could contact Logos and get a $5 credit towards something else.

Or even simpler, if the subscriber already owns the free subscriber book, they could pick out one of the ebook Classics (all public domain books that Logos doesn't need to pay royalties for), and send an e-mail to CS who will add that to their account.

The other issue is, as a Legacian, seeing the offered subscription fixed-freebie as confirmation to remain a Legacian.
