no new releases at Fictionwise?

sassanik · 04-20-2009, 09:30 PM

Is it just me or were the LOTR books the only new releases listed on Fictionwise this week?

They are the only ones I've seen too - but they were late last week too. Not this late but later than the old 10AM Eastern standard.

I haven't gotten an email, but if click the icon for "New Books" the list does seem to be new for this week.

The Tokien books appear to be new this week, but that's it. No other secure books or multiformat books.

whoa...that is odd...5 minutes ago there was a long list, cuz there was stuff I added to my wish list and now it IS just the Tolkien books. way weird. I swear I had a much longer page a few minutes ago.

They are just messing with you.

well, it's only 5:30 p.m. EST, but no new releases listed yet :<

Lemurion · 04-27-2009, 05:48 PM

I see them now - though they're almost all Pre-Orders. Their new releases have been coming later and later in the day.

Lemurion · 04-27-2009, 07:30 PM

Now that's bizarre - they were there about two hours ago and now they aren't; though the new 100% rebate books are in their usual place on the front page. The big LOTR banner is still there too - but none of the sales it mentions seem to be active any longer.

Lemurion · 04-27-2009, 07:46 PM

And right after my last post - they're up.

texasnightowl · 04-27-2009, 09:22 PM

I still have nothing on the "recent additions" page. A couple new ones on the front page; but whether I click on the new books icon at the top or the link at the bottom, I have nada on the "new books" page

texasnightowl · 04-27-2009, 10:47 PM

ok, they finally showed up for me a few minutes ago.

Blue Tyson · 04-27-2009, 11:30 PM

I think they probably just did it slightly differently this week to highlight the Tolkien stuff on its own for a bit?

koland · 04-28-2009, 01:41 AM

1:30 AM EST and the new ebooks are all gone again.

Edited to add: and the 100% rebate books on the front page are only showing small rebates (around 10%). They've been having problems ever since the take over by B&N. I'd have thought the cash infusions of all their pre-new years sales and the sale to B&N would have meant more/better site maintenance.

Blue Tyson · 04-28-2009, 03:42 AM

Could be training some B&N rookies perhaps, before they all go on holiday to sink loads of piss with all their new cash?
