Rather new to DnD Beyond. I have purchased cooks but I can't seem to find the ones I own easily. I was helped out by my group to figure out what I had in the marketplace. Is there an easier way of just accessing what I own? I know I can go to "Sources" and see all the books there, however I don't own all the books and it doesn't show me which books I do actually own. So just trying to see if there is an easy way.
No, you can find them by going to the Marketplace.
When searching for anything, you have to manually set (each time) the list of books you want to search in, otherwise it will check ALL the books - and when you click on an item in the list then if you don't own the book it will take you to the marketplace and show you how to buy it.
It is one of my biggest gripes about the search system!
If you have an iOS device the DDB app will show you a list of the books you own in your library. Presume it’s the same/similar on Android too. Why the website doesn’t have the same functionality is anyone’s guess.
Though even with the mobile app there’s no way to limit searches to just the sources you own (as far as I know).
Yeah, I was confused too. I was just looking for "my books" or "my bookshelf" or "my library" - but I believe they want to over expose you to their other products, which isn't cool and why I stopped using digital after 2 purchases....to awkward and clumsy, but I do dig their Character Builder and that's why I pay for subscription (I support financially things I enjoy, and protest with my wallet the things I don't).

Thank you in advance.

Thank you both so much, I appreciate it.
