Secular books
Has Faithlife ever given thought to including secular books in their offering?
Logos customers: would you buy secular books from Faithlife ?

Possibly...depends what it is. I thought this is what Noet was kind of for? I could be wrong.

Absolutely, that'd be great for research, including "hostile" books like "the God Dilusion".
I wish I could buy Dracula for Logos.

U mean ''from'' Logos, right??
I certainly buy secular books. Some are relevant to the studies I do in Logos, and some aren't. I actually think the Logos/Noet/Vyrso distinction makes sense. I look to Logos for books that would support Bible study or a seminary paper. I look to Noet for classics. I look to Vyrso for lighter fare.
So for me, it's more a matter of my purpose for going to the "storefront" than it is whether a book is secular or not, or whether I agree with it or not. It's handy to be able to approach Logos for the same sort of materials I might find in a church or seminary library, Noet for the kind of materials I might find in a general humanities library, and Vyrso for what I might find in a mall bookstore.

Actually, you once could buy it for about a day or so, before they pulled it from Noet...
Josh, here's a few for you.

If my memory is correct, there was once a website owned by Faithlife other than Logos, Noet, or Vyrso that offered secular books from a wide variety of publishers. The electronic books purchased from this site were compatible in Logos Bible Software. I do not remember the name of the site, and perhaps it has since been canceled?

I agree that it is valuable to also have secular books in the same library.
Noet has 2 different sites which seem to sell different books from each other.
There is https://noet.com/ which has a more academic product line, and the other is the one mentioned by Dale above https://ebooks.noet.com/ . This second one has a focus on general literature and is well worth a browse. The available categories include:
