Is anyone at Faithlife paying attention to https://general.ebooks.faithlife.com/ from the perspective of 'moving' over books from it to https://ebooks.faithlife.com/ when appropriate?

A few seconds of searching for keywords like "Bible", "Catholic", "Orthodox", and "theology" found me plenty such titles, although of course not all hits for those terms would belong over there. The faceted genres of "Bibles", "Biblical Studies", "Theology", "Christian Group", and "Christian Living" could probably be moved over pretty well wholesale, along with a good chunk of the "Religion" genre... might sell more books that way!

    Furthermore, everything from publishers Sheed & Ward and Zondervan Academic should be shifted over.

    That's strange.

    I assume general.ebooks is the old Noet. And the old Noet has Bible-stuff.

    Or. general.ebooks is an auto-publish ... direct links to publishers. Though Zondervan sounds religious. Hmmm.

    Or. general.ebooks is the reject-pile, keeping ebooks pure (along with Betty's Hunky Cowboy opus)

    I sort of never caught on with FL's moving targets ... ebooks, Noet, 'research editions' and 'Lexham editions'. I think every 2-3 years, they sit around the winter's Bellingham campfire and say 'Well, that didn't work. How about ....'

    You are correct that general ebooks is the old Noet store. I suspect that there are contractual reasons for not merging it into the (Vyrso) e-books.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Merging the whole store? I think that that would be very well justified by the different target audiences.

    Moving over appropriate resources is another matter.
