http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/bestseller/

As you can see, it bears little to no resemblance to the books Fictionwise has on sale. I am pretty annoyed about this. If Fictionwise wants to have a sale of certain best-selling books in their catalogue, that's fine. But if they are advertising it as an actual sale of books on the NYT best-sellers list then imho they should put those actual books on sale.

If this is the first shot across the bow for the new regime, colour me disappointed, with gloomy thoughts of all my worst fears being realized. Next step will be Americans only, I suspect, just like Amazon does


Like you, I'm somewhat disappointed by the selection as well. I agree with you about the NYT best-sellers list, too.
