Are Vyrso books tagged exactly like Logos books or are they sort of tagged? Also, are they tagged to all other resources that are in ones library, whether they be Vyrso bought or Logos bought?
No. :-)
Bible references are actually, but they have the possibility of being incorrect: Logos runs an automated processor on the publisher-provided book files that tries to find and automatically tag Bible references, but it's not perfect. Other than that, they are not tagged.
Do you think that Vyrso will eventually marry with the Logos processor in the future so both will be fully searchable and taggable?
Vyrso books are fully searchable.
Logos books are manually tagged by humans, and they are maintained and updated by Logos which is why they cost more. Vyrso books are the plain ebooks direct from the publisher without any intervention from Logos employees. That's what makes them different. Vyrso books will always be something less than Logos books. They are basically the same as Kindle books with added Bible verse tagging.
Thanks.
To add just slightly to what Todd wrote...
Vyrso books are "no frills" ebooks. Scripture is auto linked, but the auto linking can work poorly at times (but mostly very good, especially when the references are "clear"). They are competitively priced with other "plain jane" ebooks (Kindle, nook, etc.). The simple nature of the ebooks makes licensing agreements simpler... Vyrso books are often released the same day they are released in other formats.
Logos books are "value added" and require human coding. They are a good value, but they are not "cheap." They take months to produce, and we have to wait many months (often more than a year) to see the book made available.
Most Vyrso books don't need to be expensive "logos edition" resources. They are novels, or "christian living" books. Some would be nice to be in Logos, but for most that is not necessary. Sometimes Logos decides that a VYrso book would be a good fit for Logos. When that happens, the book is typically pulled from VYrso and is released into pre-pub in Logos. When the book is released in Logos, those who have a "vyrso" edition of the resource get a download of the new edition as well, free of charge. (The user would have two copies in their library... otherwise, any notes/highlights would be lost).
Makes sense. That would explain why I have two of the same books in my library. What does the star represent under your picture? Are you a Logos employee?

Milkman,
To re-iterate from another angle: Vyrso books are Logos books. Thus they will appear in your library and collections, be searchable and everything. They are taggable (in the sense of: you may apply tags to them). Unlike Kindle books, where this is hit and miss, footnotes and ToC-links will work reliably. However, they are very basic Logos books.
Hope this helps,
Mick
He isn't - and I'm not either. Those of us with a star are called "MVPs" (often translated as "many volunteer posts") who spend a considerable time on the forums and try to help others to find their way around.
Thanks. Well at least you guys/gals are good at what you do for us amateurs. Appreciate it!
