50% off nothing is still ... *sigh* ... nothing.

There remain the DRM-free multi-format books which offer interesting material but generally no mainstream stuff. Pity. The disintegration of the service continues.
Yow, I hadn't heard they'd dropped epub support! Damn, that's one more nail in the coffin. It certainly reduces what I would buy from them, though I guess I've mostly shopped in the multiformat side, anyway.

My guess is, B&N said, "We'll take care of the epub market, you fellows just keep the eReader customers on the hook a little longer, would you?"

This is also unfortunate to the authors in the multiformat shop (like me, with my E-reads titles). FW still seems to sell more of my books than any of the other shops, including Baen, where they are cheaper and better formatted. It's an outlet I hate to see shriveling up like this.
