If we see a new book that we would like to own, how do we know if it will be available in VYRSO and when v we need to buy it in another format?

You don't, but you can make an educated guess by publisher. If you read between the lines, Vyrso has yet fulfill the intended desire to have all of the books Bob suggested would be available "by the end of the year."
Is there a particular book that you are interested in currently?

In other words, James, if your book has been recently published by Thomas Nelson, Baker, Crossway or Tyndale, and is available electronically in ePub or Kindle format, the chances should be good. Forget Vyrso, if it's from Zondervan or IVP.
But, if it's theology rather than self-help or fiction, you may find it in Logos itself (happened to me with Zondervan books from Fall 2011 that I bought elsewhere and that are now on Pre-Pub in Logos).
Unfortunately, Vyrso has no prior information on upcoming books and no pre-ordering of books to be released later. Maybe they'll come up with this in some time to avoid paper books and rival e-formats eating their sales by being a bit quicker to the market.
