It hasn't been done yet.
Emphasis on YET.
'Cause the Book Club Folks are actually pondering offering these kinds of deals.

SFBC and their stablemates (History and Scientific American Book club, among other banners) ran a survey of their customers last month and that was the core intent; to gauge interest in a book-club branded reader with attached book store.

Hey, this $49 thing probably isn't far off. We just need these two companies to keep make crazy $60-70 cuts.

I am definitely curious to see how these cuts have affected the numbers for both companies.
