Vyrso's versatility, extensive features heads above the rest
With all of Vyrso's advanced features, reading Christian ebooks through the Vyrso ereader app makes a lot more sense than thru any other ereader like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, etc., especially now that they're adding thousands of new titles. This release sums it up... http://www.logos.com/press/release/Vyrso_1000s_ebooks

Let's see now: close to a year ago they promised us 25,000 Vyrso books before Christmas.
Christmas is long gone, and they still haven't even reached 5,000. I'm not holding my breath.

I believe they are in the process of partnering with a few major big hitters in Christian publishing.
That would be awesome. But I'm not sure I'm ready for the flood of new books. I've already bought 235 Vyrso books since it was launched, and that's getting to be an expensive habit!
Looks like the news should hit next week with some big new NYT Bestsellers in the mix...
Michael, where do you get this info? That press release is 1.5 months old, and as far as I can see it doesn't say anything about thousands of new books. I believe it just talks about the books they already have.
Well, if you're right I sure hope Ignatius is one of them, because the current Vyrso offerings leave me pretty bored.
235!?! I haven't bought a single one yet. There's almost none that I want, and none that I particularly need, so I'm just waiting for a sale -- or a freebie. [:D]

Inside scoop... wait and see next week for the announcement of a new partnership and a boatload of new titles. Was referring to the last Vyrso release to point out the features, not the number of ebooks currently available.
I'd love to see IVP, Zondervan, and Eerdmans as Vyrso partners. Though most of their books probably work better in Logos, there are plenty which could work well as ebooks for reading (the Scripture references get automatically tagged anyway), and if it means we'll get them faster, I'd be all for it.
Also, while not specifically a Christian publisher, Harper's HarperSanFrancisco imprint publishes lots of Christian books (C.S. Lewis, for example!!) and ones of general interest on religion, so I'd love to see them partner with Logos/Vyrso!
You might not be disappointed. Next week.
OK, so it's the end of "next week" now, and nothing big has been announced. Nothing on Vyrso either. Should I keep holding my breath for another week?
You beat me to it. I was too tired to look for the thread before I went to bed. (Of course, I never held my breath in the first place.)
Very disappointing. I suspected it, of course -- the OP certainly read like an ad -- but there was no logo and you kept talking about Logos as "they". And you gave a pretty deceitful answer to a pretty direct question. As usual, truth is banished to second chair at Logos, and once again I'm reminded never ever to trust anything Logos says. It almost always turns out to be something less than the absolute truth.

I see Michael has a Logos logo now on the forums, which he didn't when he made his initial posts. I don't think it was an intent to be deceptive on his part. Most new employees show up without the Logos logo for a couple of days until the forum elves get a chance to turn it on for them.
Well, I know that sometimes plans go awry, things take longer than expected, etc. Micahel was intentionally vague, so he didn't exactly tell us a falsehood. He said "you might not be disappointed." There's wiggle room in there. It turns out I was disappointed, but I might not have been if they'd gotten this release announcement out when they'd planned to. So the statement he made is still logically true. I'm not blaming him for giving "something less than the absolute truth" -- he probably gave all he knew at the time. He's probably not in control of how long these things take. Still, I'm hoping for some new announcement this week. They shouldn't get our hopes up if they're not pretty certain they can follow through.
