I totally agree. It might also explain the delay for FW getting themselves up and running. As others have suggested, they're probably trying to negotiate something with the Big 5 (are we calling them that now?) so that they can honour their commitments to members. If they can't I suspect it's the end for the Big 5 (surely there's got to be a better name) at FW.
However if they still offer the 15% discount for the book they do list, they'll be honouring that statement and, subject to anything else people can find, I don't think there's any breach of an implied covenant.
