  1. Good question. On more than one occasion I have forgotten that I already had a certain ebook. But I’m not so sure it’s entirely a problem with ebooks. I do the same with my print library, though not as often (maybe because of the visual element?). As our libraries grow, it becomes harder and harder to keep track of everything.

    I plan to keep track of all my ebooks in LibraryThing. Currently, I have a small number of them cataloged there (ones with easily exportable ISBNs). Once I get some time, I would like to get them all cataloged. Logos is considering integrating a tool in their next major release that will allow a user to catalog all of his print and ebooks. If they do this, I may do that instead of (or in addition to, if the import/export is easy) LibraryThing.

  5. I love the idea of the free books as well! I’ve downloaded all of them, & I check back every weekend. WORDsearch has given us some incredible titles well worth reading! John Butler’s new free book Alliterated Sermon Outlines added to the list is a must have title for every pastor.

  7. Where can I find and download the “Complete Works of EM Bounds on prayer? Thanks, Nathan

  8. bible explorer is great. but does anyone know how to add an NIV bible to the library for free?
    i mean, i already have an NIV ebook on my computer, so i do not want to buy it again. so i want to know if there is anyway that i can get it for free or add my own ebook to its library

  9. This is a great post, thank you for sharing such valuable information with us. I didn’t know about Bible Explorer will check it out!
