Received the same e-mail and purchased two Rita Mae Browns (Mrs Murphy) mysteries and a Rex Stout that I have had my eye on for a while. The coupon is good until April 18.

Thanks very much for the tip! That was a nice plus. Between the $2 surcharge on all titles to Canada that Amazon charges, and the discount at Fictionwise -- even when some Fictionwise titles are "more expensive" -- I find I am actually buying stuff at Fictionwise for my Kindle 2. And, I just did again!

I used it but honestly the selection at Fictionwise at the moment is pretty dire. I am trying to use up my micropay so that I can justify going elsewhere for books but after clearing my greatly reduced wishlist of all books available for epub I still have a bunch left. Crossing my fingers and hoping that Fictionwise gets at least some improved selection over the next little while or else I am going to seriously be looking for recommendations (or branching afield in DRM liberation techniques for formats that I don't have a device for).

As much as I admire Amazon and Kindle, it's nice to have one or two credible alternatives. I have to say: without the [ridiculously easy] ability to "de-DRM" ePub for the sole purpose of reading on my Kindle ... I'd find little to interest me outside of the Amazon store. At some point, Amazon/Kindle will need to address this problem -- offering non-DRM ePub on the Kindle would go a LONG way to fixing it. And, secondly, working out an Overdrive/Kindle solution for libraries. Last edited by SensualPoet; 04-19-2010 at 11:03 PM. |
