Please make books that are on sale easier to find.
I have always enjoyed browsing through Tim Challie's Kindle Deals for Christians (https://www.challies.com/kindle-deals-for-christians/) where he does an almost daily update of new books that we might be interested in.
It was only last month that I realized that if the book was on sale for Kindle, if it was also available in Logos that it was nearly always also on sale (except if it was a Logos Research Edition with all the tagging). I would much rather have a book in Logos than Kindle.
And so every day I would search in Logos for the titles from the daily list to see what was available.
It almost seems like Logos doesn't want us to find what books are on sale. You seemingly have to hunt for them.
They do send out an e-mail with sales occasionally, but they only list 3 or 4 books, and the last time I got that e-mail, the ones listed had actually already been on sale for over a week.
On the main page, there is an "On Sale Now" section, but it is almost unusable. You have to wade through pages and pages of garbage "Christian" romance fiction. Who wants to browse through that every day to see if there's something new? And if there is, there's a good chance you don't see it.
I did make a search link that is more helpful and I'll share it for hopes someone else may benefit from it.
It excludes all titles you already own and all fiction and romance.
But even with that, you'll have to browse through the first couple pages every time.
Some of these books are only on sale for a day or two.
I wish there'd be a way to see only books that have recently had their prices reduced.

That's quite the complex search string for books on sale. Thanks for sharing.
I added one more filter "available to me" as about 4,000 of the books listed in your search were not available to me.

Just change "geographicAvailability=all" to "geographicAvailability=availableToMe" in that above URL. Or even simpler, click on the link and then select the "Available to Me" option under "Narrow your results":

But I also made a couple other very minor tweaks, so caveat emptor, and you get what you pay for. [;)]

Here is an example:
https://blog.faithlife.com/faithlife-ebooks-weekly-deals-aug-18-22-2022/
This was released Thursday (8/18). It only lists a whopping 4 books that are on sale, at least 3 of which that have been on sale since the beginning of the month.
It just makes no sense. It really is like they put all these books on sale and then just hide them.
Not to mention the books that are only on sale for just a few days that you'd never have known unless you just happened to be browsing that day.
