Funny how new books on Amazon are getting bad reviews based solely on pricing!? - is that something to do with this new agency pricing? I read one article that blames Apple for pricing, but don't see how it is any better or worse than before, or was I just too complacent using Fictionwise ?
I just found ebooks.com, and it appears that all the new ebooks I want are there, in more formats and more affordable than Fictionwise ever was.....  |
The thing about Apple is that they insisted no one could undercut them, as I understand it. Which killed Fictionwise, because special discounts were their greatest appeal (that and their multiformat DRM-free shop). Which is perhaps why they never signed the agency agreements.
As for ebooks.com, they're obviously not too complete in their listings, because they have none of my books, either from Tor or from ereads.
Just take that as a sample point.
