I hadn't heard of Ubibooks, so I went to check it out. I clicked on one of the books (Shaman's Crossing by Robin Hobb) to compare prices with Fictionwise. Ubi wanted 19.95. Fictionwise wanted 7.99, but as I am a club member I could get it for 6.79. On top of that they are offering a 10% micropay rebate. Final cost-$6.11. It's only one book and I might have just gotten lucky, but that is a HUGE difference. I'll stay with Fictionwise. Congrats on getting your Cybook- mine won't ship till Dec. 5, and I can't wait. I hope Amazon doesn't abandon Mobi as well. In fact, as soon as I get the Cybook I'm registering the PID, re-downloading all my DRM'ed Mobi books , and backing them up. I will probably start buying any DRM'ed books in .lit format and convert them to be safe.
