RSS feed for new books?
Just bought my first Vyrso book, the Bonhoeffer one! I am not a iPad/iPod guy just a Windows user, so is there possibly an RSS feed or something equally easy to be notified about new books published to the site? I assume it's just the 15 for now?

Considering that they say they'll add 25,000 books before the end of the year, are you really sure you want an RSS feed? [:P]
(Actually, a feed that notified us when a new publisher was added would be a good idea, but not for every single new book, thank you very much. -- Though, coming to think of it, separate feeds for each publisher might also be a good idea. I'd be happy to be notified of new Ignatius and Paulist books, as long as I don't have to sift through tons of uninteresting stuff as well.)

Sure! My local newspaper has an RSS feed of headlines, then you click the link to read the article. They probably average 30 a day, which is 10,000 a year. Engadget (www.engadget.com) sends feeds on technology stories of all types, they probably averages 50 a day, close to 20,000 a year. It's easy to just scan a ton of one line titles in less than a minute and see what you are interested in. Reuters, BBC, and Wikipedia most recent changes are other feeds which have very high volume.
If the books come that fast (and prep-pub delivery scheduling makes me a bit skeptical [:D]), this will be easier for me to keep up with what is new. My .02...

We're in the process of preparing the "real" Vyrso store, which will be much like the Logos.com bookstore. We already have more than 3,000 titles about ready to go -- we just need to finish the store. So day one's RSS entry would be pretty big. :-)

Any chance you could reveal what publishers will be in from the start? Or, to be more specific: are there any Catholic/Orthodox/Jewish ones, or just the usual more or less Evangelical ones?

),From what I've read elsewhere on this forum, Logos is getting the ePub files and simply converting them, so I don't expect the lead time is something that will impact upon us, except for maybe initally if we are waiting for a particular title. I think maybe if you could create custom RSS feeds based on either your favourite author, or a particular category/topic. That might be good. A new publisher RSS feed already suggested is a great idea also.
