Don't want to see 100's of logos books

It gets worse — all titles you buy on Vryso website end up in your Logos Bible Software. Now that's ok if it is a respected theological treatise, but do you really want to see Gigi's pretty pink thoughts coming up in your (cough) scholarly Logos searches??

Patrick, adding Vyrso ebooks into common library with Logos is by design. There are very good reasons for it.  But even in our paper libraries, we do not keep novels together with cookbooks or theological volumes - we use separate bookshelves for them. I admit, this is one area where it is a LITTLE easier to organize paper books than electronic.  But there is a solution called "collections" as many pointed out so well.  You can create a dynamic collection by going Tools>Collections and simply typing "ebook" in your "Start with resources matching" search field - name the resulting collection anything you want.

Creating Theology, Counseling, Bible Manners and Customs, etc collections will not only speed up your searches, but will give you more relevant results. Note, Author's collections (such as Spurgeon's or Calvin's writings are automatically done for you by Logos).

I've tested this (not with 'There's a Princess in Me' !!) I just bought a John MacArthur title in Vyrso and it got pulled into Logos 4. Yeah you can put the book in the 'hidden resources' box in Logos, but do we really want to be bothered having to do that?? No.

I am not quite sure how "hiding" a resource in Logos will affect its availability in Vyrso reader.  I assume it will be unavailable as well.  Hiding a resource should not be a big deal (actually, even seeing Gigi come up in one of my "full library" searches on "grace" is not a big deal to me.  I can simply ignore that search result.  Now, if I was presenting something really serious before scholarly audience...) HOWEVER Logos made it a HUGE deal by only allowing users to hide one book at a time. Had they made it more convenient, it would be a non-issue.

I purchased some new books today in my ipad 

then signed in to vyrso but the list of books was buried my by my logos books

Logos should really address the User Interface of their libraries in both Logos and Vyrso.  They are really lagging behind the usability curve. My suggestion is to sort the library by type (ebook) or by latest downloaded.

You have to rebuild index to completely get rid of hidden books (if you temporarily hide a book there is no expensive indexing when you unhide!).

AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!

Every time Logos downloads (you have no choice) and indexes (you have no choice) every title bought from Vyrso that you don't want in Logos and you want to clean up your index you need to do a total rebuild?!? Yeah right — great (not).

Thanks to everyone who has commented and offered suggestions on this issue.

I'm reasonably competent with Logos and I'm aware of the technical possibilities regarding collections and filters etc. etc. and I have no problem whatsoever having titles bought in Vyrso appear in my Logos 4 application — if I want them there. I want to have, and be able to make, the choice — me.

Here's the thing:

1. Most of the people who are saying this will be primarily buying scholarly (as in matching Logos) titles. They won't have a problem.
2. There is now situation where we have two 'bookshops' for scholarly titles — Logos.com & Vyrso.com — there are good titles on Vyrso that are not available on Logos. What's the logic determining which bookshop a title is sold in? Not that I care in one sense — as long as I can easily add, up front, to Logos 4 only what I want.
3. If one uses filters like "not ebook" in searches in Logos then ALL Vyrso titles will be excluded — excellent theological titles as well as 'pretty princess'.
4. I don't want to be forced to use collections to restrict/filter books in Logos just to get valid content. I've paid big money to get a library that has the distilled knowledge, life experience and spirituality of thousands of persons over more than 2,000+ years. If I am doing an initial type of query I WANT to see results from every book & author. What's the point of restricting (in this case) searches to collections of authors you like. That's like only accepting input from people you like and/or are familiar with. What's the benefit in that!
5. I can just see the untechnical user Pastor/Dr/Prof Vagueness using Logos and doing a query like "exercise power princess" and coming up with all sorts of weird titles. Then they'll be on the Logos 4 forums in a flash. Logos 4 has enough problems already... to get decent performance people have to magically know not to do things like text comparisons on complete Bible books, jumpy scrolling etc. etc.

It's great that we have Vyrso — organise it so that it is a plus, not a pain.

p.s. FYI other Bible software can do multiple version Bible text comparisons of the whole Bible at once without raising a sweat.

German Librarians need work too! (once Oktoberfest is finished)

Or... once Oktoberfest is finished with them!

Has anyone figured out a reliable bookmarking system for these books from the new site yet? I read several chapters of Red Scorpion and bookmarked it and then did  some biblestudy.  Unfortunately the ios app will not let you name your bookmark so you better know it's desigantion.  And if you cant remember the itle your in real trouble.
