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:

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!

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?

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.

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